- Ports & Terminals
Positioned at the heart of the North East coastline, Port of Sunderland is just minutes from open sea providing a gateway to the world. Its accessibility from sea teamed with excellent road, rail and air links, makes the port ideally placed for import and export projects. Development sites, cargo laydown and warehousing adjacent to its marine facilities, mean the port can play a key role in supporting the bulk and project cargo sectors. With deep water berths open 24/7 and large ship capability the port regularly handles commodities such as steel, wood and paper pulp, construction materials, aggregates etc. Developments within the port’s estate have included the progression of infrastructure enabling works to deliver two ‘shovel ready’ development sites comprising 20 acres of Enterprise Zone approved areas with recently reinstated rail connectivity.
