Port of Ipswich Gets New Dry Bulk Terminal

zoom Britains largest port owner and operator Associated British Ports (ABP) opened a new GBP 2.2 million dry bulk warehouse terminal at the Port of Ipswich. Named the Orwell Bulk Terminal, it replaces the former ‘Number 3’ warehouse on the River Orwell at Cliff Quay and will provide nearly an acre of purpose built storage for bulk commodities such as grain, barley and other agribulks. The terminal also has solar panels to provide a clean energy generating capacity of 120kw. The panels are linked to the network which powers the port estate. Last year the port handled over 1.5 million tonnes of bulk cargo for East Anglian customers. The opening of the Orwell Bulk Terminal will help to provide our customers with modern facilities, said ABP Short Sea Ports Director Andrew Harston. We are delighted that The Grain Terminal (Ipswich) Limited and Clarkson Port Services will be extending their presence at Ipswich by using the terminal to provide storage and handling services to the agribulk market in the area.
