Located in the North East of England, the Teesside Freeport is the UK’s best connected freeport, unlocking global markets, major trade hubs and offshore projects.
The Teesside Freeport is perfectly placed to offer immediate connectivity, starting with direct access to ten miles of operational river along the Tees; home to some of the deepest berths on the east coast and one of the UK’s busiest ports. Alongside Redcar Bulk Terminal, Teesport handles nearly 30million tonnes of cargo and almost 10,000 vessels every year, providing a gateway to the North Sea, Europe and beyond. This is in addition to a new dedicated quay at South Bank, servicing the offshore sector.
From a regional point of view, the Tees Valley is centrally located between London and Edinburgh, making it easy to reach the whole of the UK via a strategic road and rail network. These convenient transport links bring the UK’s commercial, industrial and manufacturing regions closer together, making London reachable in under 2 hours 30 minutes and both Edinburgh and Manchester in even less.
The A1(M), A19 and A66 link the region to all corners of Britain, with simple access to key arterial routes heading north, south, east and west. Teesside International Airport offers connections to London in under an hour, and the rest of the world via the service to Heathrow as well as Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
