PORT OF HEYSHAM

Situated on the south coast of Morecambe Bay, the Port of Heysham provides an excellent range of services. Companies who have used the port include Esso, Conoco, Feria, British Gas, Shell, Kelt, BP, Elf and Amoco.

Heysham's trade over the last six years has doubled, largely due to the growing Irish Sea RoRo market and offshore trades and now accounts for some four million tonnes per annum.

Heysham's advantages are:

• Most vessels can arrive and depart at any state of the tide.
• Development land is available for port users, including a potential new quay development within the port.
• Excellent motorway connections and railway links into the port.
• Round the clock pilot service.
• Availability of HM Customs, ship bunkers, chandlery, light ship repairs and diving services.
• A 21 acre industrial park adjacent to the port boundary with standard and purpose-built industrial office and warehouse units.
