About This Seaport
Behind a lock fitted with tide gates, Swansea's Kings Dock keeps water levels stable enough to work cargo around the clock. Operated by Associated British Ports on the Bristol Channel, the port takes vessels up to around 30,000 dwt and handles roughly 500,000 tonnes a year of agribulks, coal, aggregates and project cargo, alongside steel, tinplate and aluminium. The D-shed terminal adds about 15,000 m² of warehousing plus open paved storage, served by mobile cranes and handling plant. Road links run via the M4 with rail connections into the South Wales industrial belt. Shippers needing pure container services or deeper draught usually turn to nearby Port Talbot, with its deep-water tidal harbour, or to Cardiff and Newport. Swansea works best as a versatile regional port for dry bulk, breakbulk and project loads.
