Port of Wisbech

It is mainly used for cargo and industrial purposes, with the southern part of the port housing a number of berths for yachts.

Fenland District Council is the harbour authority for most of the River Nene; as well as operating the port and harbour, it provides a Port Health service to commercial ships, leisure craft and fishing vessels.

The drained marshes provided rich productive farmland, bringing prosperity to the port of Wisbech from the regular shipments of corn and oil seed rape to the coast and continent, and imports which included coal from the North, slate from Wales and timber from the Baltic.

The port runs a fortnightly service from Riga, Latvia importing from the Baltic.
