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.
