Ports

The UK's major east-coast ports are around two hours from any part of England's East Midlands, providing vital links for import and export businesses.

Situated on the UK's busiest commercial estuary, Grimsby and Immingham combine to form one of Britain's fastest-growing ports. It provides a complete logistics package for port users and handles more foreign trade than any other single port in the UK.

The port also enjoys a strategic location close to the North Sea and facing mainland Europe. This position, along with a huge diversity of shipping lines, puts a market of 170 million people within 24 hours’ travel.

Also within two hours of England's East Midlands, Hull is a major foreign trading port, offering worldwide deep-sea services and European short-sea trade routes.
