London Stock Exchange welcomes ABPorts market open

Associated British Ports, the UK’s largest port operator, has marked the successful completion of our £300 million bond offering on the London Stock Exchange with a milestone market opening ceremony. The bond, well received by the markets and gained over £1.6bn in orders was supported by BNP Paribas, Lloyds Bank and NatWest Markets.

The team celebrating on the balcony at LSEG during the welcome ceremony.

The successful bond transaction on June 11th, represents a vote of confidence in ABP’s long-term strategy, operational resilience, and the company’s role as the UK’s leading port operator.

“At ABP, as the biggest port operator in the UK, we are guided by two core missions: to Keep Britain Trading and also to Enable the Energy Transition. These missions are deeply intertwined — and both are powered by investment. Today’s opening is not just a celebration of the markets — it is a reminder of the vital role that infrastructure, investment, and trade play in securing Britain’s future. Thank you to the London Stock Exchange for this honour. And thank you to all those who believe, as we do, in the power of investment to build a more prosperous, more sustainable world.”

ABP CEO
