About This Seaport
The Bristol Port Company runs the twin docks of Avonmouth and Royal Portbury where the Severn meets the Bristol Channel, making this one of the UK's largest centres for vehicle imports. More than 550,000 cars pass through each year, with up to six roll-on/roll-off vessels handled simultaneously across over 35 berths. Beyond motor vehicles, the port handles dry bulks such as coal, animal feed and grain, plus forest products, metals and steel and fresh produce, while containers remain modest at around 46,000 TEU, with capacity for Capesize ships up to 130,000 dwt. Bristol's historic city docks are closed to commercial traffic, so deep-sea trade runs through Avonmouth and Portbury, linked to the M5 motorway and the rail network. For full container services, shippers turn to Southampton, Felixstowe or London Gateway; Southampton is the main alternative for vehicle imports.
