As a Trust Port serving stakeholders throughout the local community, the Port is a big supporter of local good causes, with a focus on helping charities and initiatives across four key themes: health and welfare; community cohesion; maritime heritage; and the advancement of marine engineering related learning.
TALL SHIPS & MORE
The Port regularly welcomes tall ships, military vessels and other crafts of interest to the public. In 2016 for example the Port hosted and jointly funded the North Sea Tall Ships Regatta which attracted half a million visitors to the town and triumphed in two categories at The Journal Culture Awards.
