Imports centre on road salt from Ireland, with occasional timber, animal feed and aggregates; there is no container or liner service. Torridge District Council and partners are exploring a revival of small short-sea routes—for cargo such as clay, aggregates, scrap metal, road salt and timber—to cut road haulage.
