Port operator nets Grimsby Seafood Village

Associated British Ports (ABP) has extended its property portfolio with the acquisition of the long leasehold interest of Grimsby Seafood Village, a seafood processing centre.

The multi-let industrial site spanning over four acres is located on ABP’s Port of Grimsby in the Humber. The purchase of the long leasehold lasting 125 years, which ABP had previously granted to the owners of the complex, provides future security and support for an important hub of UK food production.

The 70,000 square foot site comprises 21 units with several fish processing businesses. In 2010 the complex was built and operated by the Great Grimsby Seafood Village Limited.

Andrew Dawes, regional director of the Humber ports, said: “The acquisition of the Grimsby Seafood Village strengthens Associated British Ports’ commitment to Keeping Britain Trading.

“It enhances our property portfolio with a vital hub for the UK’s seafood supply chain – supporting regional jobs, boosting food security, and anchoring long-term supply chain resilience in the heart of the Humber.”
