Summary

A guide providing national standards of good practice for all trust ports in the UK. A review of trust ports was undertaken by DETR Ports Division in 1998. It involved a detailed scrutiny of the trust sector with specific regard to the standards of corporate governance and accountability of its operation. The review concluded that the concept of a trust port had stood the test of time and continues to perform a valuable role in support of the local, regional and national economy. However, it highlighted a need for general improvement in the openness and accountability with which trusts conducted their business. Trusts need to revisit the first principles of their foundation1. This guide to national standards of accountability was proposed as a benchmark to provide good practice for the future.
