Sail to and from Portland on the RMS St Helena

Portland Port has the second largest man made harbour in the world, situated 22 miles north of the westerly shipping lanes and on the main maritime trade routes allowing fast, safe access 24 hours a day. There are no restrictions by locks, tides, beam or air draft and the port's well sheltered waters allow access for vessels up to 20m draft in the outer harbour and up to 12m draft in the inner harbour including a maximum draft of 11.5m alongside.

Since the departure of the Royal Navy from Portland Port in 1996, the port has developed into a thriving facility combining its vast natural assets with the full range of services demanded in today's maritime market.
