Once a Victorian fishing and whaling harbour, Milford Haven has become the United Kingdom's largest energy port, moving around 35 million tonnes of cargo a year. Set on a deep natural ria in Pembrokeshire, Wales, it specialises in liquefied natural gas and petroleum products. South Hook is the largest LNG terminal in Europe, run by QatarEnergy, ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies with capacity above 15 million tonnes of LNG, while Dragon LNG handles up to 6 million tonnes a year; together they can meet up to a quarter of UK gas demand. Valero's Pembroke refinery and SemLogistics' petroleum storage add further liquid-bulk capability. The deep water suits large tankers and gas carriers, but the port runs no container liner services — for boxes, Southampton, Felixstowe or Liverpool are the right gateways. Forwarders should view Milford Haven as an energy and tanker port with limited breakbulk and container relevance.
