Stranraer is best treated as a historic ferry town rather than a working cargo port: when Stena Line relocated to Cairnryan in November 2011, Loch Ryan's ro-ro freight traffic left with it. The harbour now functions mainly as a marina and council-run facility, without meaningful container or general-cargo handling. Its practical freight relevance for forwarders is therefore limited. Ro-ro and accompanied freight between Britain and Northern Ireland sail from Cairnryan, a few kilometres north, with P&O and Stena services to Belfast and Larne.
