Clydeport: Scotland’s gateway to the world
There's nothing we can't handle.
Clydeport is a bustling network of ports with the potential to connect your business to the world. Our first-class facilities allow us to improve efficiencies in your supply chain via some of the most strategic locations on the West Coast of Scotland. As harbour authority for 450 square miles of the Clyde, we connect your business to Ireland, Europe and the Americas.
Discover Clydeport
Clydeport is one of Scotland's most important port networks, with first-class facilities in some of the most strategic locations on the west coast. Whatever you're moving, we work with you to build a long-term relationship that brings your business real value, going the extra mile to become a vital link in your supply chain.
Together, our ports store and process more than 15.4 million tonnes of cargo a year and welcome thousands of cruise passengers. We handle containers, agribulks, forest products, project and bulk cargoes and much more, and each port in the network has its own strengths and expertise.
We keep investing to future-proof the Clyde. Two new ship-to-shore cranes, a £25m investment and the single largest at the port, became operational at Greenock Ocean Terminal in autumn 2024. Over £11m has been invested in upgrading Inchgreen Marine Park, and Greenock's £20m cruise visitor centre in 2023.
As the controlling Port Authority for 450 square miles of the River Clyde, we also keep the river safe and navigable for every vessel that calls.

Where to find the Clydeport
Address: King George V Dock, Glasgow G51 4SD
King George V Dock and Rothesay Dock are on the River Clyde in Glasgow and Clydebank. Greenock Ocean Terminal and Inchgreen Marine Park are further downriver at Greenock, with Hunterston on the Ayrshire coast.
Road, rail and sea connections
Inchgreen and Greenock sit close to the A8 and M8 for Glasgow and the motorway network. By sea, Greenock links with Liverpool and Dublin as part of our Irish Sea Hub, giving cargo owners a more sustainable alternative to congested southern UK routes, with a weekly BG Freight Line service to Rotterdam.
Investing £3m to keep wind turbines moving at King George V Dock
After a record 2024, when more than a thousand wind turbine components passed through King George V Dock, Peel Ports Clydeport invested £3m in a new egress road at the Glasgow dock. It gives oversized project cargo a faster, clearer route to nearby main roads, cutting delays and costs for renewable energy customers. Read the case study
