PD Ports

PD Ports is one of the UK's biggest and most progressive port groups with a reputation for excellence gained from decades of experience and a highly skilled workforce. Headquartered in the Tees Valley, PD Ports operates from 12 key ports and logistics centres across the country to keep vital supply chains moving. Owners and operators of Teesport, the fifth largest port in the UK and the only major port in England to handle more imports than exports, PD Ports employs over 1,300 people nationwide whilst also operating one of the most ambitious apprenticeship programmes in the maritime industry as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the next generation. PD Ports is also the Statutory Harbour Authority for the River Tees and is therefore responsible for all vessel traffic management, ensuring safe navigation and maintaining channel depths for the thousands of vessels that visit Teesport annually. We also have a significant presence across the Humber with five well-connected locations across the River Trent, including a 190 acre site at Groveport, forming a strong Humber cluster. Our ethos is built on creating trusted, long-lasting partnerships that allow us to understand customers and their unique requirements. We aim to be a seamless extension of any business, providing in-depth knowledge and time-served experience to improve supply chains.
