Logistics Overview

Post-Brexit, the UK has overhauled its logistics landscape with the introduction of the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) and a new Freeports strategy. It remains one of the world's most critical maritime and aviation markets.

Infrastructure Advantage

The UK's maritime trade is concentrated in high-capacity container terminals, with Felixstowe handling roughly 48% of the nation's containerized trade. London Gateway (DP World) is the UK's most advanced automated port. London Heathrow handles over 65% of UK air freight.
