Immingham

The Port of Immingham is the UK's largest port by tonnage, handling up to 55 million tonnes, including nearly 20 million tonnes of oil and 10 million tonnes of coal.  The port also offers an extensive range of roro and lolo freight services to Northern Europe, Scandinavia, and the Baltic.

With river and in-dock deep-water facilities and easy access to the major trade routes, Immingham is less than 24 hours from a European market of 170 million people. The port's modern rail infrastructure handles more than 260 rail freight movements a week. The port benefits from congestion-free, high-speed road links - from the M180 through to the M18 and M1 - which will enable UK-wide cargo distribution from a location strategically close to the UK's industrial heartland. Humberside International Airport is a 20 minute drive from the port and has a helicopter base to service the offshore industries.
