The harbour closed to commercial traffic in 1977, leaving sand dredging alongside marina and regeneration uses. Its strongly tidal basin, with a fairway of only about 1.8 m, cannot handle containers or international breakbulk. For commercial sea freight, shippers turn to Falmouth; Hayle itself is of limited cargo relevance today.","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/hayle-port-gb-hay","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/seaports/en/hayle-port-gb-hay","source":null,"provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Freight Academy","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Hayle · (UN/LOCODE: GB HAY) · United Kingdom · Very Small · 1.8 m"}
