ABP has been confirmed as preferred partner on the Hull Cruise Yorkshire project.
City councillors have selected Britain and the Humber’s leading port operator to join the local authority in delivering what is seen as a potential boon for the tourism economy.
The proposal and its siting near The Deep aquarium has provoked some criticism, but addressing the Cabinet, Cllr Daren Hale, leader of Hull City Council, said: “I make no apology for supporting the cruise terminal project and I make no apology for supporting the regeneration of this city in the same way as the cruise terminal has done for Liverpool.
