DRAGADOS has secured a contract to construct the new Immingham Eastern Terminal project
DRAGADOS remporte la phase 2 du contrat pour édifier un terminal Ro-Ro ultramoderne au Port d'Immingham, renforçant le commerce britannique et l'exportation de produits agricoles. Ce projet clé inclut une conception innovante sous NEC4 ECC, avec une jetée d'approche sur pilotis d'acier, des pontons pour navires géants, et des infrastructures terrestres comme un pont, des parkings pour HGVs et des bâtiments dédiés. Aligné aux objectifs gouvernementaux, il booste le fret roulant, facilitant l'acheminement de cargaisons agricoles vers les marchés mondiaux, tout en intégrant des services passagers. Une avancée majeure pour le plus grand port du UK, en partenariat avec ABP et Stena Line.

DRAGADOS, an affiliate of ACS Group, has secured Stage Two of the contract from Associated British Ports (ABP) to construct the new Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro Terminal (IERRT) at the Port of Immingham in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.
The project for ABP will involve an NEC4 ECC Option C Design and Build Contract, encompassing the design, construction, commissioning, and handover of a state-of-the-art outer harbour berth dedicated to Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels, along with associated Marine and Landside infrastructure.
The Port of Immingham, the largest port in the UK by tonnage, handles approximately 37 million tonnes of cargo annually. This project aligns with the government's objective to strengthen the United Kingdom's position as a leading power in Ro-Ro cargo trade for the country's economy.
Ro-Ro vessels are designed to facilitate the movement of large wheeled commercial cargo, allowing it to be loaded/unloaded and collected directly at the port. In addition, the facility will have provisions for passenger services, subject to the operational demands of the Ro-Ro cargo operation.
The scope for Stage Two of the contract includes the construction, commissioning, and handover of the Stena Shipping Line dedicated berth for its Ro-Ro traffic, once DRAGADOS has successfully finished the detailed design in the previous Stage One.
Marine Infrastructure
This IERRT project includes an approach jetty to be built using steel driving piles with Ø1200 mm and 25mm thicknesses, supporting reinforced concrete pile bents that span 12 times and total 252m in length. The approach jetty deck will be formed by precast beams and GDR slabs between those beams. On top of them, it will be a reinforced deck.
From the last bent, a 75m steel linkspan will connect the approach jetty to the first of the two steel pontoons. The connection between the two pontoons will be through a linkspan bridge of 12m in length.
The finger piers, perpendicular to the pontoons and 258m long, will accommodate Stena Ro-Ro vessels. The dimensions of the Stena vessel will be 212m in length, 27m beam and 40m freeboard. This is equivalent to two Wembley stadiums, one after the other, and a 14-floor house in height.
Land infrastructure
The contract scope also includes the Robinson Road Bridge, 48ha for HGVs, private vehicles, and containers parking, new UK Border Force facilities, the Stena Terminal Building, and other buildings to control the operations. Additionally, new primary and secondary roads, joints and MEP works are part of the contract.
An ABP spokesperson said: “The move to construction phase is a welcome next step for the IERRT project, reflecting a lot of hard work by associated interested parties. The new terminal will further enhance the Humber as the UK’s #1 gateway for trade, providing more options for customers to land their cargo closer to end markets and benefitting from the experience and well invested capabilities of ABP and Stena Line at Immingham.”
The DRAGADOS team are looking forward to working with ABP to ensure an efficient delivery of the new facility at Immingham.
