Around 600,000 vehicles a year make the Port of Tyne the United Kingdom's second-largest car export port, serving customers including Nissan and VW. Spread along both banks of the Tyne mouth in north-east England under the UN/LOCODE GB TYM, it handles roughly 3.5 million tonnes a year, about 20,000 TEU, 671,000 passengers and more than 5,400 vessel calls. Container traffic moves through the Tyne Container Terminal, opened in 1991, with capacity near 100,000 TEU a year and regular European feeder services. A grain terminal, RoRo ramps, deep-water berths and bulk handling cover steel, forest products, petroleum coke, fertiliser and aggregates. An on-dock rail terminal links the quays to the North East hinterland, supporting intermodal flows. Shippers needing deeper liner coverage typically compare Teesport to the south and the Humber ports of Immingham and Hull.
