CLdN announces major investment in UK terminal

Luxemburg-headquartered logistics company CLdN announced a major investment plan for its UK terminal at Killingholme on the River Humber.

The project will be completed in the second half of 2026 and is expected to significantly enhance cargo-handling capabilities at the terminal. It will support the projected volume growth on CLdN’s North Sea connections between Killingholme and the company’s terminals in Rotterdam and Zeebrugge.

The terminal project includes a reconfiguration of the cargo handling operations to optimise the flow of freight, aiming for an increase in handling and storage capacity for all cargo types – trailers, containers, tank containers and refrigerated units.

CLdN has also invested in five electric rubber tyred gantry (RTG) cranes to replace part of its existing fleet of diesel-powered reach stacker vehicles. This is expected to improve operational efficiency and to enable the terminal to reduce its carbon footprint by between 5-10%.

The investment at Killingholme will complement other investments that the company has recently completed in its UK port infrastructure, including a new access to its port in London and a renovation and capacity expansion of its Liverpool terminal.

Commenting on the investment, CLdN CEO Florent Maes said: “Killingholme is an important hub connecting the North of England with mainland Europe and our ambition is to further grow this corridor in the coming years. The investment also demonstrates our drive to further decarbonise our port operations.”
