Berwick Harbour Commission are currently upgrading cargo handling equipment and machinery. This work will continue as the Commission seek to consolidate existing trade and attract and develop new trade opportunities.  Our beloved Atlas material handler received a full refurb in 2025 to bring it up to date. Two new Manitou telehandler fork trucks were acquired from Hubbway in 2023, the new Manitou’s affords us increased flexibility and versatility in all cargo handling and warehouse work.

A custom built cargo sampling facility was installed, this facility includes a cargo sampling gantry and a fully equipped sampling office. The Port is now fully compliant with cargo sampling requirements.

Future development plans include resurfacing quayside working areas and upgrading existing machinery.

The Commission are seeking to develop increased tourist activity by installing a Pontoon for visiting Leisure craft and Cruise ship tenders. Several visits by Cruise ships have proven a great success in Berwick and the surrounding area.
