<p>The UK Government funded a new airport on St Helena (completed in 2016) to facilitate
the transport of both passengers and freight. The UK will also provide up to £33.06
million of financial aid in 2023/24 to support the delivery of public services and
access to the island, including any St Helena Government support towards shipping
costs. A further £30 million is being provided between 2019-2026 for infrastructure
development, including new port facilities that will facilitate better shipping services.
The St Helena Government is responsible for the island's freight services and is in
the process of tendering a new shipping contract.</p>
