Around 450,000 tonnes of cargo move through Fowey each year, making this deep-water harbour the largest by tonnage on England's South West peninsula. China clay dominates: several hundred thousand tonnes are exported annually for Imerys Minerals from loading jetties at Carne Point, fed by rail from the processing works near St Austell and Par. Rock salt and aggregates round out the throughput, but Fowey handles no container lines or ferry traffic and operates as a dedicated bulk and breakbulk export port. The sheltered Fowey estuary supplies natural deep water for bulk carriers, while the retained rail link from Lostwithiel keeps clay flowing to the quay. Road access runs inland via the A390, connecting the docks to the wider Cornish network. Shippers needing container services route through Plymouth, and Par offers a nearby alternative for additional china clay loadings.
