United Kingdom

Maritime

The global shift to ever-larger ships. The increasing frequency of climate change hazards. Economic uncertainty and rising financial pressures. A growing focus on sustainability. To build smart, green, and resilient facilities in the future, the UK government and private port and shipyard owners need to address these challenges.

As one of the world’s leading maritime consultants, we have over 140 years of expertise in optimising maritime operations around the globe. Our innovative and sustainable approaches assist ports, shipyards, and terminals in achieving their full potential to compete, grow, and enhance society as a whole.

Ports & terminals

As one of the world’s leading maritime consultancies and designer of the UK’s first purpose-built container terminal in 1967, we apply global experience to local challenges. Our work helps ports, terminals, and coastal facilities across the UK thrive sustainably, building resilience for today and opportunity for tomorrow.

Green ports

Cut emissions, boost resilience, and unlock sustainable growth with integrated green port strategies. From shore power and alternative fuels to climate-resilient design and environmental planning, our specialists shape cleaner, more efficient ports ready for the future.

Smart ports

Digital innovation is transforming port performance. Combining maritime expertise with technologies such as automation, data insights, and digital twins, we help ports operate smarter, safer, and more sustainably, ensuring they stay competitive in a fast-evolving sector.

Wind ports

As offshore wind expands, UK ports are evolving to meet new logistical and operational demands. Leveraging decades of maritime experience and advanced modelling tools, we optimise infrastructure for both fixed and floating wind, ensuring readiness for the clean-energy economy.

Defence

Modern defence demands smart, sustainable, and secure infrastructure. Drawing on decades of global experience and working closely with FMI, Arch Henderson, and NACO, our engineers create future-ready naval bases, shipyards, land, and air facilities that enhance operational performance and resilience.

Commercial shipyards

Together with our specialist team at First Marine International (FMI), we shape the world’s most advanced shipyards, from large-scale commercial facilities to agile, niche operations. Our focus: safety, efficiency, and profitability that strengthen the UK’s maritime economy.

Innovate for tomorrow, protect resources today

Clean water is humanity's most fundamental need. It’s essential for health, society, and prosperity. It’s part of life itself.

And right now, we have an opportunity to redefine our relationship with water. To stop treating it as a commodity that we take for granted. And instead, to take a circular approach that integrates with society – reclaiming resources and energy, and avoiding wastage and loss at every part of the water cycle.

At Haskoning, we help companies lead this vital transformation. We provide forward-looking services, software, and technology, encompassed in a broad, coherent vision for sustainable, integrated water (re)use and water treatment.
