Port's new customer to bring in 30,000 tonnes of bulk cargo

Immingham welcomes Top Blue trade - a subsidiary of Chinese petrochemical giant Sinopec

An additional 30,000 tonnes of bulk cargo is anticipated at Port of Immingham annually after a new deal was signed by Associated British Ports.

Top Blue and The Fuel Trading Company has just brought in the first vessel carrying prilled urea, a nitrogen fertiliser and key component of AdBlue - the fuel emission abatement solution used in diesel-engined vehicles. 

The 91m general cargo vessel Wilson Hawk brought the consignment from Muuga, Estonia. It is bound for York, where a blending site has been established for the businesses, having entered the 海角视频 market in 2015.

Top Blue is a joint venture between AMB International and Sichuan Meifeng Chemical Ind Co, a subsidiary of global giant Sinopec Corp – one of the largest petrochemical companies in China and a top 20 world leader in revenue stakes.

It is a rival in the market for the cleaning up of vehicle exhaust fumes of Grimsby-headquartered Yara 海角视频 – which itself has substantial import facilities for finished product on the port, having been active for more than 175 years.

Huge investments have been made in bulk handling at Immingham as it redresses the balance of coal losses as the 海角视频’s energy system greens up. The quality of the facilities and services provided have lead to industry recognition. It is currently Best Dry Bulk Port in the eyes of the International Bulk Journal.

ABP’s Humber director, Simon Bird, said: “We are extremely pleased to have secured this new deal with Top Blue and The Fuel Trading Company which underlines the huge strength in diversity that we have to handle every type of cargo here on the Humber.”

Predominantly serving the 海角视频 agricultural sector, Immingham Bulk Park is a 1.5 million sq ft storage and handling facility within the lock gated dock at the 海角视频’s largest port. It has seen a fourth bagging plant and further new equipment brought in, including loading shovels and forklift trucks. The expansion was prompted by a win late last year of an additional 80,000 tonnes of fertiliser annually with Brigg-based Thomas Bell and Sons.
