Maritime and ports play a key part in the heritage of the UK and our modern economy –
supporting jobs, driving innovation and enabling trade.
Ports have historically played a fundamental role in Britain’s success; helping to feed, build and power the nation. With a new government in place and a fresh set of ambitious missions for the country, ports are uniquely positioned to showcase their value and potential as a key sector that supports the growth and prosperity of many other UK industries.
As engines for economic prosperity across the regions, ports and the wider maritime sector provide the government with a significant number of opportunities to deliver on its important missions of kick starting economic growth, making Britain a clean energy superpower and break down barriers to opportunity.
We stand ready to play our part in supporting projects that support sustainable growth for trade, creating jobs and advancing a greener energy future for all.

A nationwide approach to transporting goods would create more efficient supply chains, benefit overheated areas, and provide jobs and opportunities in other regions.
There have been previous efforts focused on relieving congestion at bottlenecks, but a broader strategy using regional ports would offer a more sustainable and greener supply chain.
Peel Ports’ geographical coverage could support this nationwide approach to deliver on government ambitions.
It’s time to look at end-to-end transport as one integrated system to enable smarter and more sustainable infrastructure investment.
