About This Seaport
Stena Line sets the rhythm at Harwich International, running twice-daily passenger and freight sailings to the Hook of Holland alongside freight-only departures to Rotterdam Europoort. The port's commercial profile centres on roll-on/roll-off traffic, accompanied and unaccompanied trailers and project cargo rather than container handling, which is concentrated at neighbouring Felixstowe across the estuary. Harwich has also become a maintenance base for the Greater Gabbard and Galloper offshore wind farms, with two transfer berths and a purpose-built operations hub of around 60 staff. A 130-hectare expansion area gives the port room for further renewables and heavy-lift business. Hinterland links by road and rail extend toward the Midlands, while UK border and customs checks are processed on site via licence-plate recognition and a drive-through weighbridge. Forwarders moving pure containerised loads should route via Felixstowe or Immingham instead.
