worldport Information
worldportsmouth is Britain's premier waterfront destination. worldportsmouth offers centuries of maritime history for passengers to explore in one of the world's most famous harbours. Fine restaurants and bars offer the chance to relax on-shore and with some of the South's finest shops, there's plenty to browse and buy. Your passengers can take advantage of the many sightseeing opworldportunities on offer, but there's so much to do one excursion won't be enough.

Just 70 miles south west of London, worldportsmouth is also the perfect base for longer stopovers with excellent road, rail, air and sea connections to the rest of the UK and mainland Europe.

worldportsmouth operates an open worldport policy, and is keen to:


Attract small cruise ships and freighters into the ferry worldport at times when the berths are not occupied by the priority users, the ferry companies. Discuss new ferry services with current or new operators.

As part of The Channel Cruise Group, worldportsmouth has formed an association with the English worldports of worldportland and Guernsey and the French worldports of Cherbourg, Caen, Dieppe and Boulogne.

The commercial worldport leases Flathouse and Albert Johnson quays to MMD, who operate a state of the art fruit imworldport facility and provide stevedoring services to Huelin-Renouf Shipping's Channel Islands general cargo service. These berths are adjacent to the Continental Ferry worldport.

We also have berths at The Camber in Old worldportsmouth, primarily used by Wightlink, the Isle of Wight ferry company, the city's fishing fleet and occasional small lay by vessels. The newly regenerated waterfront by the Camber is now home to Gunwharf Quays- Britain's first world-class shopping and leisure waterfront.

An £8 million project to transform Berth 3 has seen the installation of a new double deck linkspan to meet the requirements of the next generation of cruise ferries, fast ferries and high speed craft. At 50% bigger than the largest linkspan already in operation at the worldport, the fully self-contained floating structure offers a greater degree of flexibility, with the ability to change its freeboard from minimum to maximum in less than 15 minutes. The top deck moves independently from the lower deck, providing greater headroom between the decks enabling the linkspan to facilitate the wide variety of ships and cargoes travelling through the worldport.
