As the Statutory Harbour Authority for Teesport and the Port of Hartlepool, we are responsible for overseeing all vessel traffic management, ensuring safe navigation and maintaining channel depths. This covers a 12 mile stretch of the River Tees, as well as a section three miles out into the North Sea.
The breadth and variety of port operations across this area is diverse. From Ekofisk’s petrochemical and liquid bulk storage operations at Seal Sands, to the deep water jetties of Redcar Bulk Terminal, and a range of cargo handling, ship repairs, offshore support and renewable energy operations elsewhere.
Our harbour office monitors the arrival and departure of around 4,100 ships each year. Vessel traffic services guarantee safe and efficient navigation, including pilotage as the Competent Harbour Authority.
Supporting our commitment to minimum environmental impact, we also have a dedicated conservancy team, specialist marine engineers and an in-house oil response unit.
