The Port Sutton Bridge Ltd sits just a few miles inland of the coastline of The
Wash, historically one of the most important trading routes with our
European cousins.
Originally opened in 1881, the port sits on the banks of the River Nene and is the only heavy-lift
port on the river. Port Sutton Bridge has recently been incorporated into the Gold Star group of
companies and provides a 350-metre-long wharf accommodating between four and five vessels,
with a maximum vessel length of 120 metres and 17 metre beam. Vessels up to 5000 DWT, with a
draught of 6 metres can be accommodated at spring tide. “Whilst vessels of up to 5000 DWT can
be accommodated on the highest tides, we can regularly handle vessels up to 3000 DWT on a daily
basis.” Director Gavin Patrick commented. “We are essentially a dry goods port handling bagged
sand and cement, scrap metals, and bricks. Thanks to the substantial quayside construction, we are
also building a reputation for the ability to handle a variety of heavy lift operations.”
