Coal, fishmeal, soyameal, rock salt and sugar beet make up the steady if modest cargo trade that moves across Macduff's quays on the Moray Firth coast of Aberdeenshire. Alongside this dry-bulk and breakbulk traffic, the harbour is a busy working fishing port with an enclosed fish market, chill store and flake-ice plant, and it hosts Macduff Shipyards, which builds steel and timber fishing and workboats up to 30 m and repairs vessels up to 60 m. Non-compulsory pilotage, VHF communications, a weighbridge and stevedoring are available, but there are no container or deep-sea liner services. The harbour entrance is exposed to north-easterly gales, so coaster-sized parcels suit it best. Forwarders with containerised, project or larger bulk consignments should use Aberdeen or Peterhead nearby.
