News Release: ABP sign landmark agreement with MOD to boost logistics capability Today we announce a new strategic relationship agreement signed with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). The agreement boosts the flexibility and resilience of the UK Armed Forces sea mounting capability. Henrik Lundgaard Pedersen, Chief Executive Officer of Associated British Ports, said: “As part of our strategic commitment to supporting the defence sector, ABP is proud to provide the MOD access to our network of ports across Britain for both national emergencies and routine business. By doing so, ABP is confident it will increase the resilience and capacity of the MOD’s sea mounting capability for the most demanding scenarios, whilst driving greater cost-effectiveness into routine deployments. We look forward to deepening our relationship with the Armed Forces and the strategic defence sector across the UK.” Vice Admiral Andy Kyte CB FCILT, MOD’s Chief of Defence Logistics and Support (CDLS), said “This new arrangement greatly boosts the resilience, efficiency and agility of Defence’s Sea Mounting Capability through access to ABP’s national port estate.
