New Aggregates Terminal for Port of Hull
01 Sep 2002
Stema Shipping (UK) Ltd has chosen Associated British Ports' Port of Hull as the company's northern distribution centre for aggregates imported from the Jelsa Quarry in Norway, the largest single-standing coastal aggregates quarry in terms of output in Northern Europe.
The Stones discharges the first shipment of aggregates to Stema Shippings new distribution centre at the Port of Hull.
The port recently handled the first shipment of the new service at King George Dock when 26,000 tonnes of granite were imported on MV Stones, a self-discharge vessel capable of discharging 3,000 tonnes per hour.
Future shipments on the service will include sharp sand and different grades and sizes of aggregates.
