Par is no longer a working cargo port. After more than 150 years exporting china clay for the Imerys group, the harbour was closed to commercial shipping in 2007, and traffic now consists mainly of leisure craft and small vessels. For freight forwarders, Par (GB PAR) therefore offers limited relevance: there are no container services, customs handling or general-cargo berths here. Shippers moving kaolin or other goods from mid-Cornwall use nearby Fowey, about 5 km east and still active for china-clay exports, or the deep-water port of Plymouth.
