# Helmsdale Harbor (GB HMA)

**UN/LOCODE:** GB HMA  
**Country:** United Kingdom  
**Water Body:** North Sea; North Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Breakwater)  
**GPS:** 58.1167, -3.6500

At spring tides the berths at Helmsdale dry out entirely, and a steady build-up of silt now threatens the approach channel of this small Sutherland harbour on Scotland's north-east coast. Around seven commercial boats work from here, landing lobster, crab and prawns, while the basin also draws leisure sailors. There is no commercial freight, container or customs handling, so the port's cargo relevance is very limited. For trade shipments, Inverness, Wick or Aberdeen are the nearest suitable ports.
