This can be potentially hazardous at times for untrained employees or visitors. Northport works hard to create a safe working environment through good communication and working relationships with all port users, while complying with all local and central government legislation.

The nature of our business as a port facility means that there are numerous and varying activities being carried out within the boundaries of the port. This can create risk for everyone working on site. This requires a close working partnership, with effective communication, between all port users.
