Overview
Ideally located on the south coast, close to international shipping lanes and less than 100 miles from mainland Europe, Southampton is one the UK's leading ports and the undisputed gateway to the world. Southampton is the UK's number one vehicle-handling port and Europe’s leading cruise turnaround port. Around 2 million cruise passengers per year pass through Southampton’s five dedicated cruise terminals, headed for destinations across the globe. The port’s container terminal is equipped with a 500m long deep-water quay, enabling Southampton to handle the world’s largest container carriers. A major dredging programme ensures that 15.5m draught vessels - the biggest currently afloat - can access the port.
