Just one berth – Dunball Wharf on the River Parrett – keeps the Port of Bridgwater commercially active, handling around 90,000 tonnes a year (2006) rather than container traffic. The cargo is mainly marine sand and gravel dredged in the Bristol Channel, plus dry bulk for the agricultural and building trades. ARC operates the aggregates berth and AG Watts Shipping a second working berth; there are no container or reefer facilities. A narrow, tidal river approach with roughly 1.8 m in the channel caps vessel size sharply. Road and rail reach the hinterland via the nearby M5 corridor. For boxes, breakbulk or larger parcels, forwarders turn to Royal Portbury (Bristol) or Newport.
