Ports
This section is relevant to all ports and explains the impact that our e-Borders programme will have on them.
United Kingdom ports will need to facilitate installation of the equipment required by government agencies to enable them to undertake enforcement activities under our e-Borders programme. For more general information about what the e-Borders programme is and how it is modernising United Kingdom border control, see e-Borders.
We encourage both United Kingdom ports and those in other countries to be aware of the requirements that e-Borders places on carriers operating from their ports and to help carriers them comply with their legal duties.

e-Borders
e-Borders is the name of a programme we have set up to introduce electronic border control to the United Kingdom by 2014. It will collect and analyse passenger and crew information provided electronically by carriers (airlines, rail and shipping companies) before travel starts on all journeys to and from the United Kingdom.
