Bunge and ABP hit one million tonnes milestone at Port of Immingham

Bunge and Associated British Ports (ABP) have marked a significant milestone by handling over one million metric tonnes of grains and oilseeds through their joint operations at the Port of Immingham since their partnership began in 2022. This achievement underscores the growing importance of the Humber port in linking UK agriculture with global commodity markets. The collaboration leverages ABP’s port infrastructure and Bunge’s extensive network in sourcing, processing, and logistics.

The partnership kicked off with the launch of Shed 35, a specialized agribulk storage facility at ABP’s Humber International Terminal. Due to high demand, the companies expanded with Shed 36, boosting the site’s total storage capacity to around 75,000 tonnes. The facility manages a variety of commodities, including imports like certified sustainable PRO-S soya meal and sunflower meal, as well as exports such as feed wheat, malting barley, beans, and rye.

James Maw, UK country manager at Bunge, emphasized the critical role of robust connections in the UK’s agriculture sector. He noted that the joint operation supports integrated supply chains by handling essential feed ingredients and agricultural exports. Paul Litten, head of commercial (Humber) at ABP, celebrated the milestone as a testament to the companies’ enduring partnership and pledged continued support for Bunge’s growth.

The Port of Immingham, the UK’s largest port by tonnage, offers access to key international trade routes. Its Humber International Terminal serves as a major deep-water bulk handling facility for grains, biomass, and other dry bulk commodities.
