Associated British Ports acquires Humber port logistics player

UK’s port operator Associated British Ports (ABP) has acquired Global Shipping Services (Global), a provider of stevedoring, warehousing, storage and port agency services across the Humber region.

According to ABP, the newly acquired port services provider Global will bring a unique set of capabilities for project, heavy lift and cargo handling.

ABP’s support and resources by its existing customer base will provide the platform for Global to grow further, not just in the Humber but also across ABP’s network of 19 ports.

“Growing our services offering is an important complement to our major investments in infrastructure like the new £200m+ Immingham Eastern RoRo Terminal,” said Andrew Dawes, regional director for the Humber at ABP.
