HUMBER PORTS The mighty Humber Estuary is Britain’s busiest trading seaway and is home to four unique ABP ports handling a total of more than 60 million tonnes between them. Grimsby and Immingham combine on the south bank to form the UK’s biggest ocean gateway, moving more than 48 million tonnes of cargo. Some 50 miles upriver from the sea, the country’s premier inland port of Goole proves the power of location, while the north shore’s prominent traditional Port of Hull carves out a pivotal role in a new, flagship industry of offshore wind turbine manufacturing and assembly.
