Ball clay mined at nearby Kingsteignton is Teignmouth's signature cargo, shipped in coaster loads of roughly 200,000 tonnes a year to the ceramics industry around Castellón in Spain. Operated by Associated British Ports, this small tidal harbour on the English Channel handles about 400 vessel calls and some 500,000 tonnes annually across four berths, three on the Western Quay and one on the Eastern Quay. Inbound traffic is dominated by animal feed (around 100,000 tonnes per year) for South West England's farming sector, alongside aggregates, salt and blast-furnace slag. Berth depths of about 4.9 metres restrict the port to short-sea coasters, so there are no container or deep-sea services here. Hinterland distribution is entirely road-based, as the quays have no rail connection. Shippers needing containerised or palletised options typically route via Plymouth or the Bristol Channel ports.
