About This Seaport

Operated by Hutchison Ports, Felixstowe is the United Kingdom's largest container port and handles close to half of the country's containerised trade. Standing where the River Orwell meets the North Sea in Suffolk, it processes more than 4 million TEU and around 2,000 ships a year, including the largest box vessels afloat. Nine deep-water berths are split between the Trinity and Landguard terminals. The port handles dry, reefer, dangerous-goods and project cargo across both import and export flows. As a major customs gateway, it clears a large share of Britain's seaborne trade. Its rail offer is exceptional: three on-dock terminals move roughly 1 million TEU a year, with 58 trains daily to 15 national destinations – more containers by rail than any other UK port. Road and rail carry cargo deep into the Midlands and the North. Shippers seeking alternatives turn to Southampton or to London Gateway on the Thames.
