About This Seaport
Poole Harbour's scheduled RoRo freight link to France ends on 31 October 2026: Brittany Ferries is discontinuing its daily Poole–Cherbourg crossing and selling MV Barfleur as part of a €20 million savings programme. From 1 November 2026, only the fast passenger ferry MV Voyager remains on the Poole–Guernsey route (with an optional extension to St Malo), carrying no regular trailer freight. One of the largest natural harbours in the world by area, Poole handles around 1.13 million tonnes of cargo and 4,000 TEU per year; berths for accompanied and unaccompanied trailers, bulk cargoes such as sand, steel and fertiliser, and an automated 60-tonne weighbridge remain fully operational under the Poole Harbour Commissioners. Discussions are ongoing with Network Rail on reactivating the Hamworthy branch line to expand intermodal rail connectivity to the port. Shippers requiring cross-Channel trailer ferry services from autumn 2026 are directed to Southampton or Portsmouth.
