About us - Peel Ports

Britain's second largest group of ports, Peel Ports are strategically located to serve the whole of the United Kingdom… Five major gateways handling a broad spectrum of international trade amounting to more than 65 million tonnes of cargo a year.

Clydeport serves Scotland's industrial heartland. Heysham in Lancashire provides a significant springboard for trade between Britain and Ireland, and Medway Ports sit on the doorstep of the nation's capital in the prime South East Region of England.

At the heart of the country and at the centre of the Group are the Port of Liverpool and the Manchester Ship Canal, handling nearly two-thirds of the cargo volume.

The Group also operates container terminals in Dublin and Belfast and its short-sea shipping operation handling nearly 500,000 teus per annum, is one of the largest in Europe.

Peel Ports Group is part of a larger, commercial enterprise, Peel Holdings, one of Britain's leading leading infrastructure, transport and real estate investment companies with assets owned and under management approaching £6 billion. Its 1.8 million sq ft Trafford Centre retail complex is one of the North West of England's leading retail tourist destinations.

The Peel Airports Division includes Liverpool John Lennon Airport – one of Europe's fastest growing regional airports.
