Peel expands its marine operatuions by buying Humber'Bulk Terminal'

 

 

Peel Ports Group has swooped for a bulk terminal on the Humber, completing the deal with Dutch-based HES International.

 

 

The New Holland operation is located at the former Victorian ferry pier that once provided the only public crossing to Hull. It has been expanded to feature 275,000 sq m of storage with an automated conveyor-fed import and export system in recent years, with a further 6,000 sq m outside storage land-side.

 

It is an eighth location for UK operator Peel, and first in the region, and will be operated by its Peel Ports Logistics division, joining activity in the North West, at Runcorn and Ellesmere Port.

I remember getting the paddle steamer ferry from there on numberous occasions.  There were three boats: the Lincoln Castle, Tattershall Castle and Wingfield Castle. You used to drive along the railway platform to get to the end.

Coincidentally, was reading a copy of 'Old Glory' from November 2010 yesterday. Had an article in it about the scrapping of Lincoln Castle. Pretty sad story.

To complete the story, the third vessel is the Wingfield Castle which is berthed at Hartlepool and is open to the public with free entry. The berth is in the same dock as Hartlepool Marina - see the details in the link below.
