ABP has it sewn up
Article Abstract:
Associated British Ports (ABP) owns 22 ports located throughout the UK, some of which hold a near monopoly. The company also holds joint-ownership of Southampton and Tilbury terminals. ABP should benefit from the UK economic recovery, since port volumes tend to rise with gross domestic product. Clients have minimum contracts of 10 years, and the largest client is British Steel. ABP should benefit from investment in a ferry terminal at Immingham, and a new cold store business in Cardiff.
