The ferry port of Hull is in the east of Kingston upon Hull, in the Marfleet district on the north bank of the Humber. From here you can reach Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Together the routes run up to 5 departures a day, sailings are overnight, and the crossing takes around 11.5 hours. The port is served by P&O Ferries.
Getting there and the terminal
Ferry traffic runs through Terminal 1 of the port, east of the city centre. The port operator Associated British Ports describes the road link as dual carriageway all the way to the M62 and on to the M18 and the M1: if you are coming from Yorkshire, the Midlands or the north-west, you stay on fast roads until just before the port.
The port is not on the open sea but around 30 kilometres upriver in the Humber estuary. That explains part of the long crossing time: the run out to the North Sea counts. Besides the ferry service, Hull works as a handling point for sawn timber, containers and the offshore wind industry, so the ferry facility is only one part of a very large site. Follow the signs to the ferry terminal and not those to the freight facilities.
