Road, rail and sea logistics specialist CLdN said it was investing in its terminal at Killingholme on the Humber estuary in order to boost cargo handling capabilities.
The project, due to be completed in the second half of 2026, will cater for projected volume growth on CLdN’s North Sea connections between Killingholme and its terminals in Rotterdam and Zeebrugge.
Work includes a reconfiguration of the cargo handling operations and it has also invested in five electric rubber tyred gantry cranes.
Florent Maes, chief executive of CLdN, said: “This investment is another signal of CLdN’s commitment to the development of its port infrastructure in the UK.
“Our combination of shipping services and own port infrastructure is unique in the European short-sea sector and enables us to provide an unmatched range of services to our customers.
“Killingholme is an important hub connecting the North of England with mainland Europe and our ambition is to further grow this corridor in the coming years.
“The investment also demonstrates our drive to further decarbonise our port operations.”
CLdN’s terminal at Killingholme is situated on the river Humber, six miles south of Hull.
The port covers 100 hectares and has six deep-sea RoRo berths from which CLdN offers 12 return sailings a week between Killingholme and its terminals.
