NTA Win Graphic (1)

This award is open to ferry operators that run services from ports located in the UK and Ireland. Uber Boat by Thames Clippers scooped first place as a result of the introduction of a new pier at Barking Riverside, enhanced services, and operational developments. As a result of these investments in infrastructure and operational improvements, we achieved a record-breaking milestone with over 4.5 million passengers traveling with us in London in 2022.

This award is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, as well as the ongoing support of our passengers and partners. We're excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in ferry transportation, and we're committed to making a positive impact on both the environment and the communities we serve.

We have previously won the Ferry Operator of the Year accolade in 2016, 2017, and 2019.
