The Sodor Shipping Company is a large merchant shipping business that operates at Knapford Yards, Knapford Harbour, Brendam Docks and the Sodor Ironworks.

History and Operations

The Sodor Shipping Company is the business largely responsible for trade between the Island of Sodor, the Mainland and beyond. Exports handled by the company include china clay from the nearby clay pits, slate from the Blue Mountain Quarry and fish, which are transported by Henry and the Flying Kipper. The company also imports goods that can not be grown or made on Sodor, such as bubble mixture for Mr. Bubbles, rock salt and - most importantly - coal.[1]

The company operates at least four large warehouses: two at Knapford (one in the yards, another at the harbour), one at the Sodor Ironworks, and another at Brendam.

The warehouse most commonly seen is that at Brendam Docks, which covers three railway lines and loading platforms, and houses freight trains waiting for departure. It contains the office of the dock manager and is also used as a makeshift shed by Salty and Porter.[2][3]
