WQ.101/2026
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
BY DEPUTY T.A. COLES OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 7th APRIL 2026
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14th APRIL 2026
Question
"Will the Minister outline what action, if any, is being taken to attract an additional freight-forwarding company to Jersey?"
Answer
The Government does not actively solicit any individual company to Jersey, but it is committed to creating the conditions for positive inward investment.
Choice of freight forwarding companies diminished significantly during Condor's tenure where the significant volume-based discount reinforced a dominant market position for one operator and deterred new investment.
Additional actions to support competition in the freight forwarding sector includes the creation of freight corridors to warehousing outside the Port estate. This has been delivered in part by the corridor to the Rue des Pres trading estate to allow larger trailers to operate more efficiently.
In both the maritime and aviation sectors, the Economy Department works closely with Ports of Jersey and the Ports Policy Ministerial Group (PPMG) to support freight activity in line with the Ports Policy Framework.
Over the past nine months, the Economy Department has worked with Ports of Jersey to establish the foundations for a maritime freight sectoral policy. Subject to PPMG agreement, this work provides a basis for further development post-election.
