Car trade through the Port of Grimsby looks set to prosper after the Secretary of State for Transport approved Associated British Ports’ (ABP) planning application to develop a dedicated two berth ro-ro riverside terminal. Specialist car-carrying ships are currently berthed in Grimsby’s Alexandra Dock, which is accessed through the port’s original Royal Lock built in the mid nineteenth century. Grimsby’s new riverside facilities will be able to accommodate vessels carrying in excess of 3,000 vehicles, significantly increasing the port’s capacity and making it more attractive to carriers.
