The £100m Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro Terminal application has been granted development consent by the Secretary of State for Transport Louise Haigh.
The application comprises a new roll-on/roll-off facility comprising a new jetty with three berths, improved hard-standing, terminal buildings and an internal side bridge to cross over existing port infrastructure.
ABP, which owns and operates the Port of Immingham, said the facility would be able to handle up to 660,000 units per year on ferries operated by Stena Line.
It will see the relocation of Stena's existing Immingham freight operation to the new site, allowing quicker sailing and creating space for larger vessels.
Stena, which currently operates four daily freight services from the Humber to The Netherlands, relocated its Rotterdam freight service to Immingham.
