handle four million tons of cargo at the terminal every year. Freighter operations will continue to be carried out from the existing terminal at Ataturk Airpo.


ABP refl ects on D-Day landings


Three quarters of a century on from D-Day on 6 June 1944, ABP is refl ecting on the incredible courage and sacrifi ce made when Allied forces landed on the Normandy coast - and the part that many of its ports played in those momentous events. “Many of our ports in ABP played


a key role in the preparations and successful execution of D-Day,” explains ABP’s director of marine and compliance, Mike McCartain. “It is with considerable pride and admiration we remember today all of those who took part in this monumental


and courageous


logistical operation, as well as those who fought so bravely in the days and weeks that followed.” On D-Day, the Port of


Southampton was the major embarkation point for the British and Canadian troops, with up to


two thirds of those who took part in the initial assault having sailed from there. Over a quarter of a million vehicles and over three and a half million men sailed from Southampton between D-Day and the end of the war. Casualties from the landings


were also taken back to Southampton. “In a city rich in history, none


has more signifi cance than the role played by the city and port during World War Two, from the design and construction of the Spitfi re early in the war to the key role played in supporting the big push towards the end of the war,” added port of Southampton director, Alastair Welch. Many other ABP ports, such as


Cardiff , Teignmouth and Plymouth, were also important embarkation points for Allied troops, and helped


stage local invasion rehearsals. ABP’s ports on the Humber


were a big support centre, with Hull handling huge quantities of ammunition and stores for the US Forces. In the weeks leading up to D-Day, many ships that were sent to Normandy were loaded up with their ammunition in the Port of Hull. Hull’s importance as a key


strategic port on the north east coast led to it being the most damaged British city during the war, with 95% of houses aff ected. Many sections of the Mulberry


Harbour, the vital artifi cial fl oating ports used in the D-Day landings, were constructed in the Port of Goole. These were fl oated down the Humber to the Port of Immingham, where they were collected and taken to the English Channel.
