It's thought the the ports of Immingham and Grimsby have a good chance of securing Freeport Status -

A bid was submitted to the Government on Friday, for all ports in the Humber region

Dafydd Williams from Port Operator ABP says there's a big opportunity for the Government to get ahead on it's green policy if they were to award it to the area

Freeport status would help attract new growth to the area, as there'll be benefits in the form of tax breaks
