LV Shipping strengthens Immingham operations with Manby Road acquisition

We are pleased to share that LV Shipping has completed the purchase of our Manby Road site in Immingham, which we have been operating since 2022. This important investment gives the business long-term security at one of our key operational locations and supports our plans for future growth, customer service and site development. 

Immingham is a critical gateway for UK and international trade, with strong connections across road, rail and sea freight networks. It is also the central hub for LV Shipping’s Scandinavian service. By securing ownership of Manby Road, we are strengthening our position in this key logistics location and creating more certainty for colleagues, customers and partners. 

Commenting on the acquisition, Lee Woolams, Co-Managing Director of LV Shipping, said: 

“This acquisition represents another important milestone for LV Shipping. Investing in strategic locations such as Manby Road reinforces our commitment to delivering long-term value for our customers and stakeholders. Immingham continues to be a key operational location for our business, and this purchase gives us site security, flexibility and a strong foundation for future growth. I’m very keen to develop the current site and have some exciting plans around making it a green, sustainable site for LV to operate from going forward.” 

Owning the site gives LV Shipping greater control over future operational planning and opens opportunities for further investment and development over the coming years. This includes looking at how the site can support more sustainable ways of working while continuing to meet evolving customer requirements. 

This is a positive step for our Immingham team and for the wider LV Shipping business. Thank you to everyone involved in operating, developing and supporting the purchase of Manby Road site to date. We look forward to sharing more updates as our plans progress.
