Sawn and round timber from Scandinavia and the Baltic, grain, road salt, coal, paper pulp, roofing slate and granite move across the quays of Inverness, the commercial port at the head of the Moray Firth. On the export side it ships animal feed, barley, rapeseed and potatoes, and it serves as northern Scotland's main distribution point for imported fuels including diesel, heavy oil and aviation spirit. Throughput runs at around 800,000 tonnes from roughly 300 vessel calls a year. Shallow channel depth keeps traffic to smaller coasters, and there is no container liner service. For containers or deeper draught, Aberdeen and Grangemouth are the practical alternatives. The A9 trunk road and southbound rail handle hinterland distribution.
