Associated British Ports (ABP) is the UK’s largest port operator, managing 21 strategically located ports across England, Scotland, and Wales. These ports are vital gateways for international trade, supporting over £150 billion of UK trade annually. ABP plays a critical role in ensuring the safe, efficient movement of commercial vessels, cargo, and passengers—keeping the nation’s supply chains flowing.
To standardise and streamline operations, ABP committed to a one-design pilot boat fleet, partnering with Goodchild Marine for vessel construction. By integrating Raymarine technology across its pilot boat fleet, ABP has set a new standard for safe navigation, fleet interoperability, and maritime operational excellence.
