Twenty-two miles up the River Tay from Dundee, Perth (GB PER) is a small tidal harbour built around agribulk and breakbulk rather than containers. Coasters call with animal feed, fertiliser, timber, chemicals and baryte ore, and bulk grain elevators handle the grain trade. Perth & Kinross Council acts as the navigation authority for this stretch of the Tay, where cranes of up to 40 tonnes and mobile equipment cover the cargo mix. An on-site rail freight terminal plus the M90 motorway and A9 give solid access to the Scottish hinterland. Container liner services and large-scale international customs traffic are not part of the picture. Forwarders needing box services route through Grangemouth, while tide-restricted bulk parcels can also use Dundee downstream.
