Description
ROYAL PORT OF BARROW
Barrow sits at the heart of one of the UK's most strategically important industrial centres, underpinned by multi-billion-pound investment led by BAE Systems. The town plays a critical role in submarine development and national security, with ongoing expansion at the BAE main site, nearby new facilities, and close links to the University of Cumbria supporting skills, research and long-term workforce growth. Surrounding this core is wide-scale regeneration, including the Marina Village development, which will deliver around 800 new homes and transform the waterfront approach to the port.
Demand for land and logistics space continues to grow, driven by major defence, infrastructure and energy projects. ABP offers flexible open storage sites in and around the port, well placed to support businesses working with BAE Systems, key local employers and large-scale industrial activity. The port handles over 100,000 tonnes of cargo each year, including limestone, sand, aggregates, granite and wood pulp, with heavy-lift operations routinely carried out to serve the offshore energy sector.
