A new long-term deal has been agreed between ABP and NW Trading Ltd for the use of the All Weather Terminal at Port of Hull.
The 16,630 sq m fully enclosed cargo-handling and storage facility is described as unique in the UK, providing uninterrupted all-weather working and cargo storage for sensitive products.
The logistics, supply chain and storage specialist adds the facility to existing Humber operations, with bulk and dry bulk commodities to be accommodated there by the Birkenhead-based firm.

ABP’s Humber director, Simon Bird, said: “ABP has a longstanding relationship with NW Trading, which has been delivering operations at ABP Humber’s Port of Goole for many years now.
“We are thrilled to be supporting their continued business expansion into the Port of Hull, enabling them to make the most of the opportunity afforded by the port’s deep-sea connections and excellent road link to the M62 corridor.”
The terminal is segregated into three stores, two designed to store dry bulk cargo and the third to house break bulk cargo. The break bulk facility benefits from five, 25 tonne automated overhead gantry cranes, a designated undercover rail-freight connection, and HGV loading facilities.
NW Trading director, Zara Giles, said: “NWT is long established in the short-sea sector partnering with multiple blue-chip companies to provide stevedoring services across the Humber and Mersey. The addition of the All Weather Terminal to our facilities in Hull opens up access for our customers to deep water enabling more flexibility in their supply chain and allowing the procurement of product from further afield, key to staying competitive in today’s turbulent commodity markets.”
