Liquid bulks

The BP chemical plant at Saltend is Hull’s largest liquid-bulk complex and is one of the world’s largest producers of acetic acid. The plant contains a gas-fired power station and includes new production lines for vinyl acetate and ethyl acetate.

Liquid-bulk handling at Hull now plays an increasingly important role at the port, which has seen a significant rise in imports of edible oils over recent years. Aarhus Karlshamn, based in King George Dock, imports edible oils for its refinery which produces, among other products, cooking oils, specialist oils and ice-cream fats.

Other major liquid-bulks customers include United Storage Ltd, which operates from two sites at King George Dock, and offers common-user tank storage for petroleum products and chemicals. International Bulk Liquids Ltd operates a storage facility on Alexandra Dock and United Molasses Ltd and Westway Terminals operate tank farms on King George Dock for the storage of imported molasses for the animal-feed industry.
