The port at Immingham is, together with its sister port at Grimsby, the UK’s largest by tonnage, 57 million tonnes in 2006. According to its website, "Immingham is the UK’s largest dry bulk-handling port. Cargoes, such as coal, ilmenite, petroleum coke, titanium slag, ferrous alloys, pig iron and pyrites, are regularly handled at the port’s in-dock and deep-water riverside facilities". Driving through the port complex is an awe-inspiring experience, but it is not easy to photograph.
