Mitsubishi Chemical UK leases major facility at port of Hull

Associated British Ports has successfully leased a significant industrial unit at King George Dock, Hull, to Mitsubishi Chemical UK Limited, a subsidiary of the global Mitsubishi Chemical Group, one of the world’s leading chemical producers.

The new lease comprises 158,000 sq ft of storage space alongside a 53,000 sq ft canopy, located in a prime logistics position overlooking the Humber Estuary, adjacent to the Hull Container Terminal.

This strategic location enables efficient cargo handling and supports seamless import operations.

Andrew Dawes, Regional Director of ABP Humber, commented that this partnership highlights a commitment to supporting business growth and providing flexible, high-quality industrial infrastructure.

Greg Lacey, Head of Property (Humber), added that port-based warehousing offers a distinct strategic advantage, providing direct access to key logistics networks and reducing transportation costs.

Mitsubishi Chemical UK Limited will use the facility to support its contractor, Fluor Corporation, during the development of the SoarnoL ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer facility at Saltend Chemicals Park in Hull.

On this, Michael Curtis, PUMA Lead Construction Delivery Manager at Mitsubishi Chemical Group, stated that leasing this new facility at the Port of Hull is a major milestone in their long-term investment in Hull, Saltend, and the wider Humber region as it supports the doubling of the production capacity and enhances the ability to meet growing global demand.
