**Country:** United Kingdom

Around 700,000 tonnes of cargo move across Seaham's quays each year, handled along roughly 900 metres of berth for vessels up to about 8,000 tonnes. Operated by the Victoria Group on England's North Sea coast in County Durham, the port specialises in dry bulk, grain and animal feed, forest products, general cargo and project or heavy-lift consignments. Mobile cranes rated to 22 tonnes, grab cranes and shovel loaders cover most handling needs. Container traffic is limited to occasional lo/lo lifts rather than scheduled services, so Seaham suits bulk and breakbulk rather than boxed freight. Road links serve the Durham and Tyneside hinterland, but there is no rail connection on the quay. For container shipments or larger volumes, the nearby Port of Tyne and Teesport are the practical alternatives.
