Fleetwood Ferries Port Information
Fleetwood is a popular seaside resort town with travellers from Fleetwood to Larne. It has a yachting marina and a traditional pier, first opened in 1911, burnt down in 1952 and was rebuilt in 1958. Situated on the Lancashire coast, it has recently gone through a period of redevelopment. It is a few miles distance from Blackpool, most famous for its illuminations and fair ground.
The town of Fleetwood has popular attractions including a traditional market, local festivals and events, four miles of beaches and seafront gardens. The Lake District Mountains form a beautiful backdrop.
Fleetwood is well established as one of the UK's major ports for traffic to and from Larne, Northern Ireland, and has been a major fishing port for 90 years.
The ferry port is owned and operated by Britain's largest ports group, ABP. Fleetwood has a modern ferry terminal, operated by Stena Line, making Fleetwood one of the most important Irish Sea shipping facilities serving Northern Ireland on the Fleetwood to Larne ferry route.
Port of Fleetwood services
Fleetwood ferry port is located on the southern edge of Morecambe bay, and the facility is operated and owned by Associated British Ports. It provides a vital sea link between the UK and Northern Ireland.
The town sits on the doorstep of panoramic Lancashire and the well known city of Blackpool, one of Britain's traditional seaside resorts offering a wide range of attractions.
The port provides just a few amenities focused around a convenience store and a caf. A larger selection of amenities can be found in the town of Fleetwood, which is positioned very close to the terminal of the ferry port.
The port's surroundings are set to improve with the construction of the Fleetwood Harbour Village, a multi-million-pound leisure and retail development. It's believed that the new retail area will attract more travellers to use the ferry service from Fleetwood, as opposed to selecting the Liverpool-Belfast route.
