Marine Information

As a 225 acre port, Solent Gateway offers a range of services and facilities including a dedicated rail connection direct to berth, two jetties with RoRo capabilities, four linkspans, extensive warehousing and storage space, and a national rail network connection for forward chain logistics.

We continually invest in our technology, facilities and people to ensure we continually exceed expectations of our customers.

The Falklands Jetty has two berths with a minimum maintained draft of eleven metres. Due to Southampton Water’s unique double tide, we are able to operate for extended periods well beyond this level, with capability accommodating vessels of up to length 245 metres / beam 38 metres.
