Peel Ports Group - The UK's Defence Gateway
Peel Ports operates strategically positioned deep-water ports on the UK's western seaboard, providing defence organisations with direct Atlantic access, resilient logistics infrastructure and rapid support for military operations.
Through Liverpool and Clydeport, we enable the movement, berthing, sustainment and deployment of defence assets while strengthening the UK's maritime resilience and supporting NATO interoperability. Our locations provide an effective complement to established naval facilities, helping ensure continuity of operations during periods of increased demand or disruption.
Supported by extensive logistics networks, deep-water berths and strong links to key defence-industrial partners, Peel Ports offers a secure, flexible and scalable solution for UK and allied defence requirements.
Our Solutions
At Peel Ports we’re more than just ports. And nowhere is that truer than with our offshore fabrication and installation operations. For instance, with wind farming, we’re unique in the UK, combining our land, facilities, fabrication and installation capabilities and partnerships, to offer you a one-stop-shop for storage, supply, logistics and O&M.
It’s a service portfolio that perfectly complements our own renewable energy, marine and project cargo offerings. One which offers specialist commercial, upgrade, conversion, fabrication, engineering and refit opportunities.
