The total value of Mode Shift Revenue Support grant awarded to operators for intermodal flows to and from ports (for years data is currently available) is as follows:

Financial Year

Total Value

2019/20

14,465,869

2020/21

18,734,640

2021/22

18,259,533

2022/23

16,422,410

The table above contains total grant awarded for each financial year. Please note that the actual grant paid out may differ as not all awards are claimed by grantees due to variations in the movement of freight. Grants are awarded for volumes moved to and from ports and the DfT does not differentiate claims for payments based on the direction of the journey.

Details of previous Mode Shift Revenue Support awards are publicly available in the “Grants Awarded” section at:

Please note that the published data does not distinguish ports from domestic flows.
