The unit at King George Dock features a 53,000 sq ft canopy and overlooks the Humber Estuary and nearby Hull Container Terminal (HCT).
Andrew Dawes, regional director of the Humber ports at ABP, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mitsubishi Chemical UK to our site and to support them as they continue to expand their operations. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering business growth and delivering flexible, high-quality industrial spaces that meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
Greg Lacey, head of property (Humber) at ABP, added: “Leasing port-based warehousing units offers a strategic advantage for major projects, providing immediate proximity to key logistics networks and reducing transportation time and costs. These facilities enable businesses to streamline operations, enhance supply chain efficiency, and respond swiftly to project demands. We are proud to support our customers with flexible, well-located infrastructure that underpins their success and drives long-term growth.”
Michael Curtis, PUMA lead construction delivery manager at Mitsubishi Chemical Group, said: “Leasing the new shed at the Port of Hull marks a pivotal step in our long-term commitment to Hull, Saltend and the wider Humber region. This expansion not only supports the doubling of our production capacity but also strengthens our ability to meet global demand.
