Haulier Information

Hutchison Ports (UK) Limited (HPUK) has introduced a series of measures at all three of its ports to enhance security and tighten access controls, particularly to the terminals.

The ISPS Code requires ports to record all visitors to their facilities. Hauliers represent the port’s largest group of visitors , approximately 4,000 movements in and out each day. It is essential for HPUK to record these haulier movements without adding to the time taken to process hauliers through the gates.

The Port of Felixstowe is compliant with both ISPS and AEO regulations. Hauliers and their vehicle may be subject to search and must at all times be in possession of a valid ID. The Road Traffic Act (Highway Code) applies in all areas of the port.
