King's Lynn Docks
The docks are operated as the Port of King's Lynn by Associated British Ports. It handles around 750,000 tonnes of cargo a year, including agricultural and forest products, chemicals, steel and other metals. Three docks, including the tidal Riverside Quay, can accommodate vessels up to 140 metres in length. The docks cover an area of 39 hectares and include the 25,000 tonne capacity Alexandra Grain Silo complex. Although King's Lynn has been a port since the 13th century, the modern docks complex was built in the 1860s.
