Associated British Ports (ABP) announced an additional investment to advance facilities at its Port of Hull. This investment is part of the group’s plan to keep Britain trading with Europe and the rest of the world after Brexit.
Some of the investments include £50 million to improve capacity at its container terminals at ABP’s ports of Hull and Immingham; £65 million to ensure the future of the steel industry on the river Humber; £55 million to enhance the automotive and cruise offering in the Port of Southampton; and other investments throughout 21 ports across England, Scotland and Wales.
We want to send a strong message that ABP stands ready to keep Britain trading through Brexit, and we will continue to invest to drive trade and create jobs over the longer term

Moreover, ABP said that it is working to support businesses about the event of a No-Deal Brexit and the possible disruption this may cause at the Port of Dover.
ABP’s container and ferry facilities on the Humber can provide regular links to Europe, as 70 sailings every week connect Humber to a number of destinations including Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Poland.
