New £80 million outer harbour at Great Yarmouth opens

With a collection of blue-chip customers already signed up, even before any final landscaping has been added, Great Yarmouth's new outer harbour at EastPort UK, offers a promising start having recently opened.

PSA International, a leading global port group, along with Gleadell Agricultural Ltd, one of the UK's leading grain businesses, and Stema Shipping (UK) Ltd, one of Northern Europe's largest supplies of crushed rock, have all agreed to a long-term commitment to the multi-purpose outer harbour.  And others are lining up.

Moreover, with Great Yarmouth already the principal port in England for offshore support, the outer harbour will give a huge boost to operations, increasing capacity and range of activities.  It is now, for example, exceptionally well placed to service the ' East Anglia Array' wind farm development off Great Yarmouth.

Geographically, it has a head start over other easterly UK ports, being the closest deep sea port (outer harbour dredged to 10 metres) to mainland Europe, and its accessibility to the heart of the country, equals the best.

Great Yarmouth Port, trading as EastPort UK, is a place to watch!
