Great Yarmouth is a major East Coast UK Port located in Norfolk 20 kms north of Felixstowe / Harwich and adjoins a large port/industrial area known as South Denes.

The port, which is operated by Great Yarmouth Port Company Ltd, integrates the river and outer harbour facilities and handles a range of general cargo in addition to being the principal UK base for the offshore oil and gas industry in the Southern North Sea.
The river port handles vessels up to 125 metres length and 6 metres draught. The new Outer Harbour (completion 1st quarter 2009) will accommodate vessels in excess of 200 metres length and 10 metres draught.

There is considerable scope for turnover in the port to expand rapidly on completion of the outer harbour. The components of this are:- Re-establishment of Great Yarmouth as a ferry port, connecting with the near continent, Scandinavia and the Baltic.
Fulfilment of Great Yarmouth’s strategic potential as a regional port for general cargo
Improved facilities for the offshore oil and gas industry, including the next generation of offshore support vessels and rig decommissioning and recommissioning.
