Ahead of the UK’s exit from the EU Customs union, the country’s government has launched a £200 million fund to enable ports to build new facilities and prepare for life outside the EU. The Port Infrastructure Fund is targeted at ports that have the space to build new border infrastructure on their current sites so that they are ready to handle new customs requirements under the new Border Operating Model. The funding can be used for a range of vital port infrastructure – from warehouses and control posts to traffic management systems.
