About This Seaport
Peel Ports operates Sheerness as part of its London Medway hub on the Thames estuary, and the terminal handles around 300,000 finished vehicles each year. Roll-on/roll-off automotives are the core trade, but the port also runs Britain's largest fresh-produce terminal, with temperature-controlled storage for imported fruit, alongside forest products, steel and cement. A new RoRo berth, backed by a £30 million investment, has been able to accommodate vessels exceeding 230 m in length since 2025, lifting capacity for cars, paper reels, timber and project cargo. Inland distribution runs via the M2 and M20 motorways toward London and Kent, supported by rail links. Customs and border-control facilities support the high-volume fresh-produce imports. Shippers needing deep-sea container services typically use London Gateway or Felixstowe instead, while Southampton is the main alternative for vehicle traffic.
