Sea & Coastal Freight Water Transport in the UK

Over the five years through 2023-24, revenue is projected to edge upwards at a compound annual rate of 0.2% to £6.2 billion. The industry has been shifting towards container shipping over the past decade and away from liquid-bulk and dry-bulk products that have long been the staple of heavy products shipped on large vessels.

Companies in this industry transport bulk and non-bulk freight on vessels designed for the open sea or coastal waters. The industry includes scheduled and unscheduled activities, towing barges and oil rigs, and renting vessels with crew for sea transport.
