Caernarfon is today a leisure and fishing harbour rather than a commercial freight port: the last dry cargo was landed at its Victoria Dock back in 1962. The Caernarfon Harbour Trust, established in 1793, now focuses on pilotage in the Menai Strait and manages a marina of around 46 berths. What little commercial shipping remains in the area is generally bound for nearby Port Penrhyn at Bangor, handling slate and aggregates. Shippers with regular cargo or container needs should look to Holyhead or Liverpool.
