Teesport is critical to Teesside's success. Simon Clarke MP visited PD Ports (Teesport) to learn more about its operation for himself. With some of the deepest berths in the country, a great workforce and the huge potential of the new Mayoral Development Corporation site close at hand, Chief Executive Frans Calje set out an inspirational vision for how the port can develop. Currently, over £1 billion of investment is either planned or actively underway.
Simon has been hugely impressed by Rishi Sunak, the Member of Parliament for Richmond, and his work on Free Ports and this is a status he plans to champion for Teesport in Parliament. As the only net exporting region of England, Simon wants our port to thrive for decades to come.
