The Port of Tyne in North East England is one of the UK’s major deepsea ports—a vital trading gateway to world-wide markets.
Investment of in-excess of £150m in the past decade has created the infrastructure to deliver continued growth enabling the Port to diversify its business to ensure it can keep pace with the global economy.
It is now one of the UK’s largest car exporters and offers unrivalled agility, security and flexibility for shippers, major manufacturers and retailers—handling a wide range of cargoes including cars, containers, bulk commodities, offshore and renewables—in-addition to tailored multimodal logistics. It also operates an international passenger terminal with a growing range of cruise operators and a daily ferry service together with a portfolio of commercial properties and land holdings.
As a Trust Port the Port receives no government funding, it is run on an entirely commercial basis and reinvests all profits back into the Port for the benefit of its stakeholders, who are customers, employees, business, government and community.
