Animal feed, fertiliser, cement, coal, timber, ore and steel make up the trade at New Ross (IE NRS), Ireland's only inland port. Lying about 32 km up the River Barrow from the sea via the Waterford Estuary, it handles roughly one million tonnes of dry bulk and breakbulk a year. Cargo is worked at the Stafford Shipping jetties on the west bank and the Stokestown Port Services pontoon on the east bank. The port runs no scheduled container service; boxes move through nearby Belview (Port of Waterford) or Dublin. Limited channel depth keeps New Ross focused on coasters and project parcels rather than deep-sea tonnage. For accompanied RoRo and ferry traffic, Rosslare Europort is the practical regional alternative.
