Lafarge, Neath Abbey Freight Services and Briton Ferry Stevedoring share the working wharves at Neath, a tidal river port on the lower Neath where it meets the north-eastern corner of Swansea Bay in Wales. Across three berths and some 900 ft of quay, operators import sand and batch cement at Ironworks Wharf, handle scrap, stone and bulk at Neath Abbey Wharf, and run 25,000 sq ft of stores plus 60,000 sq ft of warehousing served by three 30-tonne overhead cranes for steel and general cargo. Principal traffic is steel, scrap, sand and gravel, coal, waste and general cargo, with occasional containers. Tidal access and modest channel depth keep vessel sizes small. Deep-sea services and larger steel and ore volumes are handled at nearby Port Talbot, Swansea and Cardiff. The M4 motorway and rail give the quays their inland reach.
