About The Port of Felixstowe

THE BIGGER PICTURE The Port of Felixstowe is Britain’s biggest and busiest container port, and one of the largest in Europe. The port handles more than 4 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) and welcomes approximately 2,000 ships each year, including the largest container vessels afloat today – crucially, the port provides some of the deepest water close to the open sea of any European port.

Around 17 shipping lines operate from Felixstowe, offering 33 services to and from over 700 ports around the world. Together with its unrivaled rail and road links connecting the port to distribution hubs in the Midlands and elsewhere in the UK, Felixstowe plays a pivotal role in keeping the UK’s trade moving and delivers real benefits to customers, the community, and the industry.
