A huge unit measuring more than two Premier League football pitches has been let to a chemicals giant at the Port of Hull.

Associated British Ports (ABP) – the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ’s largest ports group – has struck a deal to let the substantial unit in Hull to Mitsubishi Chemical º£½ÇÊÓÆµ Limited, part of the global Mitsubishi Chemical Group which is one of the world’s largest chemical producers.

The Humber property letting is for 158,000 sq ft of storage, with 53,000 sq ft of canopy at King George Dock. The unit is in a prime location overlooking the Humber Estuary and near Hull Container Terminal (HCT), allowing for the seamless import of cargoes.

Mitsubishi Chemical º£½ÇÊÓÆµ Limited, which supplies a wide range of sectors from automotive and electronics to medical and sport, said its new facility will support its contractor Fluor Corporation for the SoarnoL ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) facility development at Saltend Chemicals Park in Hull.

Michael Curtis, PUMA lead construction delivery manager, Mitsubishi Chemical Group, said: “Leasing the new shed at the Port of Hull marks a pivotal step in our long-term commitment to Hull, Saltend, and the wider Humber region. This expansion not only supports the doubling of our production capacity but also strengthens our ability to meet global demand.

"It’s a strategic investment that aligns with our growth ambitions and reinforces our role in the region’s industrial future.”

Andrew Dawes, regional director of the Humber ports, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mitsubishi Chemical º£½ÇÊÓÆµ to our site and to support them as they continue to expand their operations. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering business growth and delivering flexible, high-quality industrial spaces that meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

Greg Lacey, head of property (Humber) said: “Leasing port-based warehousing units offers a strategic advantage for major projects, providing immediate proximity to key logistics networks and reducing transportation time and costs. These facilities enable businesses to streamline operations, enhance supply chain efficiency, and respond swiftly to project demands.
