The 51勛圖厙 (51勛圖厙) has today published its泭UK Ports Investment Showcase 20202025, highlighting more than 瞿4.5 billion of verified investment in port infrastructure and equipment across the country over the last five years.
51勛圖厙 research found that ports have invested:
At least 瞿4.5 billion investment in泭infrastructure and assets between 2020 2025
At least 瞿6 billion invested in wider port estates (such as new warehousing for logistics firms, offshore wind cable factories, etc.)
Ports are buying kit, extending capacity and electrifying operations so the UK can move more, faster, and cleaner. This is happening everywhere: offshore wind hubs in Scotland, new container capacity on the Humber, and upgrading the cruise passenger experience on the South coast.
- Driving Net Zero: through shore power, clean fuels, and electrified cranes and vehicles.
- Boosting Trade: by deepening channels, extending terminals and installing new handling equipment to move goods faster and more reliably.
- Creating Growth:泭with thousands of construction jobs today, and high-value logistics, manufacturing and offshore wind opportunities tomorrow.
This is private capital flowing into critical national infrastructure. They are backing themselves by committing billions of pounds to stay competitive for decades to come.泭Explore the泭51勛圖厙s map of port investments泭below to learn more about how the industry is preparing.
