The first port of call for businesses – Humber Freeport 

Freeports are special areas within the UK’s borders where different economic regulations apply, such as tax benefits and customs incentives on specific sites. Freeports grow the local economy and are hubs for global trade and investment.

The Humber Estuary is home to the UK’s largest ports complex, with an average of 40,000 ship movements every year. The Humber Freeport will accelerate the region as a world-leading hub for renewable energy, clean growth, digital innovation and advanced manufacturing.

£650 million of investment into the Humber Estuary will catalyse for future investment, new jobs, regeneration, decarbonisation and innovation.

Known as the UK’s ‘Energy Estuary’, the Humber Freeport is strategically positioned to pioneer a low-carbon path for the UK and Europe, with substantial investments in offshore wind, hydrogen, carbon capture, storage, solar power and more.

Freeport status will unlock opportunities, generate skilled jobs and attract investment to the region and across the UK. The Freeport also has significant strengths in chemical manufacturing, advanced manufacturing and logistics, offering a robust supply chain and distribution opportunities.
