Teesside Freeport
Teesside Freeport is the largest Freeport in the United Kingdom, where special arrangements apply for taxation and customs. It was launched in 2021.
The freeport covers 4,500 acres across multiple sites including:
- Teesworks, a former steelworks described as Europe's largest brownfield site
- Wilton International (a former ICI site in Redcar and Cleveland)
- Teesside International Airport,
- the sea ports of Hartlepool and Teesport.
South Tees Development Corporation, which predates the freeport, has made substantial investments at the Teesworks site. With the announcement of the freeport, and the anticipated demand for land within it, the programme of demolition and remediation work was accelerated.
