VALUES
Service – Delivering first class service to all our customers and stakeholders
Teamwork – Working both internally with all employees and externally with the local authorities, the public and other partners
Innovation – Looking for creative solutions and new ideas around the port and embracing change and continuing improvement
Respect – Listening to our stakeholders and being open and transparent in all communication whilst implementing Modernising Trust Ports 2 and our Harbour Revision Order
Results – Providing long term sustainability and meeting return on investment criteria
STRATEGY
To continue to grow as a modern, niche South Coast trust port, with a balanced portfolio of revenue from our marine, operations and property streams.
The port’s core cargoes will remain associated with the building trades (timber/aggregates/steel) and agricultural products, but we will seek to diversify our cargo base (biomass/peat/plastics) as well as support the renewable energy sector for offshore and onshore wind and solar energy.
Investments will continue to be made in our marine and operations streams to ensure we provide our customers with the right infrastructure, warehousing, and navigable channels, as well as expanding our property base through strategic partnering on key sites.
