As a statutory trust established by an Act of Parliament in 1882, Blyth Harbour Commission is responsible for conservancy and safe navigation on the River Blyth and operates for the benefit of a wide range of stakeholders.
Those stakeholders, which fall into the categories detailed below, benefit from profits being routinely re-invested in order to improve the facilities and services offered to all Port users, generating enhanced economic activity and community benefits. As a recognised major UK Trust Port, the Port of Blyth also liaises closely with both regional and national government to ensure that benefits are maximised to stakeholders as a whole.
The Port completes an annual stakeholder mapping exercise to ensure it understands who its stakeholders are and regularly engages with all stakeholder groups to make sure their needs are recognised and considered when making any operational or strategic decisions.
