ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14th APRIL 2026
Question
"Will the Minister, as shareholder representative, advise what work and efforts have been undertaken by Ports of Jersey to attract additional freight forwarding companies to Jersey?"
Answer
In both the maritime and aviation sectors, Ports of Jersey works with Government and the Ports Policy Ministerial Group ("PPMG") to support freight activities in line with the Ports Policy Framework.
Ports of Jersey has supported the Economy Department over the past nine months to establish the foundations for a maritime freight sectoral policy, which can be progressed post-election pending PPMG agreement.
Ports of Jersey engage with shippers, freight forwarders and logistics providers to facilitate opportunities to support freight operations at the airport and harbour, with a focus on maintaining suitable facilities and operations for current operators and potential future demand.
Overall, Ports of Jersey's role is to support Government through the PPMG, in line with the Ports Policy Framework, in developing policy positions and ensuring that the Island's port infrastructure and operating environment support viable and competitive freight operations.
