About This Seaport
Grain, timber, steel and fertilisers move across the quays of King's Lynn, a compact multi-purpose port where the River Great Ouse meets The Wash. Operated by Associated British Ports (ABP), it handled 420,939 tonnes on 191 vessels in 2022, spanning barley, wheat, rape seed, soya, pulses, aggregates, scrap, salt and sugar beet. Timber arrives chiefly from Sweden, Finland and Latvia, while dedicated transit sheds at Berth 11 in Alexandra Dock handle long steel products, and the grain silos hold around 32,000 tonnes. The enclosed docks offer four berths over 500 m, a maximum depth of 7.0 m and capacity for vessels up to 140 m and about 5,500 DWT. Road and rail tie the port into the Midlands and East Anglia. Forwarders needing container services turn to Felixstowe, while Boston and Wisbech offer comparable bulk and breakbulk options nearby.
