The Port of Hull is first recorded in 1193 but its location on the river Hull has not been identified. By the 13th century, the ‘old harbour’, or haven, extended from the confluence of the River Hull and the Humber Estuary upstream as far as North Bridge. In mid-13th Century, the Port of Hull was a member of the Hanseatic League, commemorated in the 21st century through 'International Hanse Day'. By the 18th century it was becoming increasingly clear that the haven was unfit for the growing amount of trade, hence the building of inland docks linked to the river and the Humber Estuary.

The Port of Hull was nationalised and, on 1 January 1948, the North Eastern Railway's holdings passed to the British Transport Commission. It was found to be unwieldy and the docks element was replaced by the British Transport Docks Board (BTDB) on 1 January 1964. In 1983 it was renamed Associated British Ports (ABP) and allowed to become a public limited company. The company was taken over by a consortium of companies in 2006 and the company was de-listed from the London Stock Exchange.

Opening on 3 December 1846, Railway Dock was connected on the west side of the Humber Dock to the north of Kingston Street. Its primary purpose was for the transfer of goods to and from the newly built Hull and Selby Railway. Railway lines also ran from the goods shed to the Humber Dock. The dock closed in 1968 and, together with Humber Dock, became part of Hull Marina in 1984. Further information in Wikipedia: Link
