It is home to both London’s and Scotland’s largest ports - key gateways for international trade and domestic supply chains. Beyond the sheer scale of operations, Forth Ports contributes a remarkable £950 million in economic value annually, supporting businesses, communities, and the broader UK economy.
Port of Tilbury stands as the closest port to London, making it a critical gateway for trade into the capital and beyond. Each year, Tilbury handles around 16 million tonnes of cargo, accounting for an impressive 36% of the total volume moved along the River Thames. The port alone generates over half of the Forth Ports Group’s total turnover and supports around 700 direct employees, contributing £94 million annually to the UK economy. Having already undergone a billion investment programme, the port has ambitious plans to double its cargo throughput to 32 million tonnes per year and triple direct port-related employment from 4,000 to over 12,000 jobs over the next 10 to 15 years.
