Memorandum by Associated British Ports
Grimsby and Immingham (TYP 5)
ABP is the largest port operator in the UK with
22 ports in England, Wales and Scotland. For many years we have
recognised the importance of maintaining and developing excellent
rail links with ports as a very effective way of transporting
goods with the added environmental benefits associated with both
these forms of transport. We strongly feel, therefore, that it
is essential that, for the purposes of sustainable distribution,
any opportunity to improve port and rail links should be supported
fully by Government through both transport and environmental policies.
