Two container quays, a freshly upgraded bulk terminal and a new offshore-wind development define Teesport's current build-out under operator PD Ports. At the mouth of the River Tees on the North Sea, it handles roughly 28 million tonnes a year, ranks as England's sixth-largest port and is the only major one to export more than it imports. Bulk dominates at about 73 percent — iron ore, coal, biomass, agribulk and steel through facilities such as Redcar Bulk Terminal, whose deep-water quay was upgraded in 2025/26 for loads up to 3,500 tonnes to serve NZT Power and the Northern Endurance Partnership. Containers move across TCT1 (294 m) and TCT2 (360 m); an expansion now under way lifts capacity from about 235,000 to 450,000 TEU, with a port-wide target of at least 650,000 TEU. Teesport anchors the Teesside Freeport, the UK's largest, giving resident industry customs and tax advantages, and the planned Teesport Offshore Gateway targets offshore-wind logistics. Rail and road give intermodal reach to Scotland, the Midlands and northern England. Shippers needing higher container volumes and denser liner services compare Teesport with Felixstowe or Southampton, while keeping it in view for bulk and regional flows.
