Immingham & Stallingborough, are both part of one of the main port towns in Lincolnshire, they have long been the beating heart of Lincolnshire. Whether it be the recycling centres (Enva Battery Recycling, or New Lincs Development) or the oil production facilities in the area, receiving crude oil to the oil refineries (Phillips 66 & Prax) from the North Sea, via a 5 mile pipeline. With Immingham docks receiving goods far and wide, and the oil refineries producing oils, fuels and lubricants for the UK market, it only confirms what great importance the towns hold for the county, and country overall.
With their excellent transport links to the motorway via the M180, and them being part of a significant port within the UK, they’re home to a wide range of businesses that rely on the use of pressure systems & pressure equipment every day—from compressed air system in the docks to steam boilers and steam receivers within the many manufacturing businesses in the surrounding areas. All of which require PSSR testing, under current regulation.
Immingham is surrounded by towns and villages whose development has been closely linked to port activity, shipping, and heavy industry. Nearby settlements such as Habrough, Stallingborough, and North Killingholme grew as small rural communities before expanding with the development of Immingham Dock in the early 20th century. The dock, constructed to handle large-scale cargo, transformed the area into a centre for maritime trade and industry.
Smaller villages including South Killingholme, Ulceby, and Wootton combined traditional agriculture with employment in port-related industries. Shipbuilding, cargo handling, and later petrochemical and energy industries became important sources of work. The railways and roads linking Immingham to Grimsby, Hull, and other industrial centres were crucial in transporting goods, especially coal, oil, and steel.
In recent decades, industry around Immingham has diversified further. The port remains a major hub for bulk cargo, while energy production, logistics, and manufacturing now provide significant employment. The surrounding towns and villages continue to reflect the area’s maritime and industrial heritage, with communities shaped by both the port and traditional rural life.
For these businesses, staying compliant with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) is not just a legal requirement—it’s also about safeguarding your employees, protecting your business reputation, and ensuring your equipment remains safe and reliable.
Â
PSSR regulations place strict duties on business owners and equipment operators. Any business in Immingham & Stallingborough that owns or operates pressure equipment must ensure that:
Pressure systems and pressure equipment is safe to use.
Examinations are carried out in line with their written scheme of examination (WSE) and at regular, legally required intervals.
Inspections are conducted by a competent and impartial person.
Failure to comply can lead to heavy fines, prosecution, and serious safety risks.
At SEIS, we know that every business in Immingham & Stallingborough – whether in heavy industry, healthcare, education, catering or automotive—depends on reliable, safe equipment. Regular PSSR inspections & PSSR testing reduces the risk of accidents, protects your workforce, and ensures smooth day-to-day operations. Compliance not only keeps you legal, but also demonstrates a strong commitment to employee safety.
Book PSSR InspectionA thorough examination & in service examination under PSSR is a detailed and legally required inspection of your pressure system, and the vessels & system protective devices within it. Unlike simple checks or maintenance tasks, a PSSR examination must be performed by an impartial, competent person and results in an official Report of Thorough Examination.
How often your pressure system in Grimsby needs to be inspected & tested depends on its drafted written scheme of examination by the competent person, it’s relevant fluid and the system conditions:
Every 12 to 14 months – Steam and hot water boilers operating under variable service conditions, and pressure vessels where rapid deterioration can be expected, as outlined in SAFed PSG 01.
Every 24 to 26 months – Steam and hot water boilers operating under steady conditions, and pressure vessels potentially subject to rapid deterioration, as outlined in SAFed PSG 01 (e.g., Air receivers not regularly drained, shot blast vessels, Autoclaves & Steam jacketed pans).
After significant changes or repairs – Equipment must be inspected immediately if it has been modified, damaged, repaired or relocated.
PSSR requires inspections to be carried out by a competent and independent person—not by the equipment supplier or operator. At SEIS, we meet these exact criteria. Our inspections are impartial, unbiased, and always in line with UK regulations.

Immingham is a port town in North East Lincolnshire, England, located on the south bank of the Humber Estuary.
The town developed primarily around Immingham Dock, which opened in 1912.
Immingham Dock was built to handle large-scale cargo, particularly coal and bulk goods.
The port played a key role in supporting industry in nearby towns such as Grimsby and Hull.
Surrounding villages, including South Killingholme and Habrough, expanded due to employment opportunities from the port and associated industries.
Immingham is linked by rail and road to major industrial centres, facilitating the transport of cargo.
The town is closely associated with the petrochemical and energy industries.
Immingham is one of the largest ports in the UK in terms of tonnage handled.
The surrounding area includes a mix of rural farmland and industrial sites, reflecting its dual heritage.
Today, Immingham’s economy is dominated by port operations, logistics, energy production, and related industrial activities.
