New On HIT List
Global power generation company International Power has signed a term agreement with Associated British Ports to use the new £ 44.5 million coal facility being built by extending the Humber International Terminal (HIT) at ABPs Port of Immingham (see MJ September 2004, page 25).
‘The new vessels will give the route about 80% more loading capacity when they replace the Stena Seatrader and Stena Searider , said Stena Line managing director Gunnar Blomdahl. ‘The Hook of Holland – Killingholme route has enjoyed positive growth since its launch four years ago and freight customers are demanding more capacity’.
International’s fuel manager Bob Kendrick said, ‘There is a real need for the specialist facility being developed at Immingham, which will handle imported coal for our power station at Rugeley, near Birmingham.’
