Our terminals offer a combined total of 26 vessel calls every week connecting destinations across Europe and beyond, and we have the expertise, facilities and land available to deliver value-added services for customers. At the Port of Southampton, our partners DPWS operate the UK’s second largest container terminal, handling over around 2.0 million TEU every year.

ABP’s network of ports around Britain benefit from excellent marine access to important industrial regions.

ABP’s container terminals in Hull and Immingham offer customers flexible, reliable and efficient supply chain solutions. Over the past 5 years volumes have increased by over 40% as more and more businesses choose to benefit from improved access to UK, European and global markets, as well as the state-of-the-art facilities and value-added services ABP provides.
