Strength in partnership

We play a critical role in ensuring the UK remains competitive in global trade, and are fundamental in the delivery of national priorities centred around high quality jobs, energy security, thriving communities and the journey to net zero. And we are unwavering in our commitment to investing in our infrastructure and our people.

Employing 1,400 people nationwide, we own and operate 11 locations, stretching from Teesport and Hartlepool in the North to Thames and the Isle of Wight in the South. Combined with our time-served expertise and comprehensive services, our sites are strategically positioned to unlock key markets and unleash business potential. Our trusted network of international partners takes our impact further still, allowing services to be delivered throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

But we are much more than just a port company and shipping services provider. As the Statutory Harbour Authority for Teesport and the Port of Hartlepool, we are responsible for overseeing all vessel traffic, river management and channel depth, as well as the designated Harbour Police. This includes a 12 mile stretch of the River Tees, and a three mile section into the North Sea.

Committed to people

The same responsibility is carried through to our communities, where our pledge to people and the environment is steadfast. We believe in contributing to the places we are based, being ambassadors, guardians and key strategic partners for our regions, including the Tees Valley where we are the largest private sector employer.

With that comes ambitious growth plans, as well as a duty to build a better, more prosperous future. This includes increasing trade and investment, creating opportunities, shaping communities and protecting our environment.

Underpinning all of our work is health and safety. It’s at the heart of everything we do and our number one priority. So much so, we have been recognised as three time RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) gold award winners.

Our Values

Throughout our activity, our core values guide everything we do. It’s what’s earned us our reputation for innovation, reliability, and always going the extra mile.

It’s what makes us an organisation that’s there when we’re needed most. This means that we build long-lasting relationships that understand the requirements of every person, every business and every community. Together, we achieve more.
