About This Seaport
Three roll-on/roll-off berths and roughly a kilometre of quay make Heysham one of the busiest freight RoRo gateways on the Irish Sea, operated by Peel Ports. The 24/7 terminal handles accompanied and unaccompanied trailers, with Stena Line and CLdN/Seatruck running services to Belfast, Warrenpoint and Dublin, while the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company sails to Douglas. Beyond trailers, the port takes project cargo, automotive units and agribulk and dry-bulk consignments, but it offers no deep-sea container line calls. Inland access runs via the A683 to the M6 motorway and a rail connection, though shippers needing container services are better served by nearby Liverpool, also a Peel Ports facility. For freight forwarders, Heysham is best understood as a fast, high-frequency trailer bridge between north-west England and the island of Ireland.
