ROLL-ON/ROLL-OFF
More than half of all vehicles, predominantly cars, which enter and leave the UK, pass through ABP’s ports. Roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) cargoes handled at ABP’s ports also include wheeled cargoes and industrial vehicles. ABP has invested greatly to provide the best range of services and well-equipped facilities to handle ro-ro.
In recent years, these investments have included, at Southampton, Empress Terminal and Southampton International Vehicle Terminal; and at Immingham, the DFDS Nordic Terminal. ABP’s ro-ro facilities cater for both deep-sea and short-sea traffic, serviced by a multinational range of liner services.
Customers can expect the following from ABP’s ports:
- Modern, well-equipped terminals, such as ABP Exxtor Terminal at Immingham, and Queen Elizabeth Dock at Hull – both of which can berth and work vessels alongside lift-on/lift-off operations
- Extensive facilities for deep-sea and short-sea traffic
- Regular liner services to and from around the world
- High-quality, secure, open and covered storage and distribution compounds
