Welcome to the British Ports Association

The British Ports Association exists to speak for UK ports.

BPA members are located throughout the United Kingdom, and are from all levels of the port industry. This allows the Association to consult with a wide range of interests, and to set an agenda for the ports industry with clear policy targets.
