Around 35 million tonnes a year make Milford Haven (GB MLF) the United Kingdom's largest energy port, set on a deep natural ria in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and dedicated to 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 capacity. Customs terms have shifted with the Celtic Freeport, which pairs the Haven with sites in Neath Port Talbot and offers tax and customs reliefs, targeting more than £8 billion of investment and about 11,500 jobs over 25 years. Floating offshore wind is the next chapter: a dedicated storage compound at Pembroke Dock already has planning permission, and the port has submitted a multi-million-pound bid to the UK FLOWMIS scheme to expand its facilities, which should widen demand for project and heavy-lift handling. The port runs no container liner services — for boxes, Southampton, Felixstowe or Liverpool are the right gateways — so forwarders should treat Milford Haven as an energy, tanker and project-cargo port with limited breakbulk and container relevance.
