Marine - Solent Gateway

Solent Gateway provides a range of services and facilities to offer a fully flexible multi-modal 225 acre port. Our dedicated rail link, which is connected to the national rail infrastructure, can provide a direct route for freight whilst reducing traffic on the roads.

Solent Gateway has 4 berths across 2 jetties with RoRo capability available for commercial vessels. Solent Gateway also boasts an extensive railway network within the port for the transportation of freight to and from vessels, with direct links to the national rail network for ease of transportation to anywhere in the UK.
