The Medway - artery for trade

Medway Ports - the Port of Sheerness and Chatham Docks - is part of Peel Ports, the UK's second largest port group, which also includes the Port of Liverpool, the Manchester Ship Canal, the Port of Heysham and Clydeport in Scotland.

Located at the confluence of the River Medway and the Thames, Sheerness and Chatham form part of one of the UK's most important trading arteries handling a diverse range of cargoes - from fruit and trade cars to steel and forest products.

Medway Ports is also the statutory harbour, pilotage and conservancy authority for 27.3 nautical miles of the River Medway, from the Medway Buoy to Allington Lock at Maidstone, and the Swale.

The Port of Sheerness is one of the UK's leading car handling terminals, with circa 300,000 units crossing the quays each year.

Sheerness has a current total of 260 acres of car compound areas linked to the port.

The port has also developed an expertise in the value added sector, including the full range of pre-delivery inspection (PDI) operations and other support services from paintshop to promotional work, which take place at the Automotive Services facility at Cullet Drive, Queenborough.

Sheerness has the ability within a single company to offer a full range of services including stevedoring, landing, park management, customs clearance, PDI, valet, painting and body shop and fleet and promotional work.

Sheerness is looking to maximise its location within the European Community by developing its position as a European Distribution Hub.
