The Port of Liverpool has handled its largest-ever ADM shipment, marking a significant milestone for the port’s bulk-handling capability and its role in the UK’s food and feed supply chains.
The vessel, which arrived from New Orleans, measured 229 metres and carried more than 67,000 metric tonnes of cargo, making it the biggest ADM consignment ever processed at the port.
The shipment comprised a mixed agribulk cargo, including maize, high-protein soya, soya hull pellets and corn gluten, highlighting both the scale and complexity of modern food and feed logistics. Together, these commodities are critical to the UK’s agricultural and animal feed sectors.
Jonathan Lane, Managing Director, ADM Agriculture Ltd and ADM UK Country Manager, said: “This shipment represents an important milestone for ADM and underscores the strength of our global supply chains. Our partnership with Peel Ports and the Port of Liverpool is integral to our operations and central to our commitment as a dependable supplier of high-quality feedstuffs to the UK Animal Feed Industry.”
