Regular services operate from the terminal including scheduled short sea feeder services connecting the Tyne to Felixstowe, Rotterdam and Southampton.
The fully secure 8 hectare (20 acres) Customs Approved container terminal has a capacity of 4,225 TEU serviced by comprehensive handling equipment and supported by computer controlled dispatch handling systems.
