Fawley Port

Fawley Port, situated on the southern coast of England near Southampton, is a significant maritime facility known primarily for its role as an oil terminal. Located on the edge of the Solent, this port plays a crucial role in the United Kingdom’s energy sector, handling the import and storage of crude oil and petroleum products. Its strategic position allows for the safe mooring and unloading of large tankers, which transport oil from various international sources. Established in the mid-20th century, Fawley Port has evolved to accommodate increasing fuel demands and to adapt to the changing landscape of maritime trade and transportation. The port is operated by ExxonMobil and is part of the wider infrastructure supporting the Fawley Refinery, which processes petroleum into various refined products.
