By Sea
Port Talbot Docks and Tidal Harbour has the deepest berthing
facilities within the Severn Estuary and is able to accommodate
vessels of up to 180,000 dwt. While the harbour is utilised
primarily by Corus for importing large quantities of iron ore and
other raw materials, additional capacity exists for the future
expansion of its cargo-handling capabilities. The inner dock area
also has general cargo berths for a variety of traffics including
processed slag and timber and can also accommodate heavy lift ro-ro
cargoes. Significant potential exists to develop other
traffics.
