Associated British Ports

About ABP

Associated British Ports (ABP) is the largest port operator in the UK. It is also one of the biggest commercial landowners in the country. With a landbank of over 1,000 hectares, a tenant portfolio of over 1,000 tenants and strategically located ports, ABP has a uniquely diverse portfolio. Access to cross-sector growth opportunities, makes it a forward-thinking, fast-paced and dynamic place to work.

ABP’s ambition for growth is complemented by the company’s strong focus on sustainability and enabling the UK’s clean energy transition. In February 2023, ABP launched a sustainability strategy, Ready for Tomorrow, which sets out its plans to become net zero by 2040 at the latest.

The Property team plays a critical role in building a greener future by offering tailored, more sustainable solutions to new and existing tenants. 18 of ABP’s 21 ports already support renewable energy projects, from onshore and offshore wind to the UK’s largest rooftop solar array at the Port of Immingham, providing the business with the client-side expertise to support tenants’ own sustainability journeys. This has the potential to bring a range of benefits from attracting billions of pounds of investment to creating hundreds of thousands of jobs for local communities and improving the UK’s energy security.
