Around 300,000 freight units, 200,000 tourist vehicles and roughly 750,000 passengers move through Larne each year, figures that mark this County Antrim port as one of the busiest roll-on/roll-off gateways on the Irish Sea. P&O Ferries runs the core service across the North Channel to Cairnryan in Scotland, with up to seven sailings a day on a crossing of about two hours. Larne is built for wheeled cargo — accompanied and unaccompanied trailers, artics and road trains — rather than lift-on container traffic, which is concentrated at Belfast and Dublin. The terminal offers some 40 acres of trailer parking and direct motorway access via the A8 and M2 toward Belfast. For forwarders, Larne suits time-sensitive RoRo flows between Northern Ireland and Great Britain; deep-sea container moves and related customs clearance are better handled through Belfast Harbour.
