South Wales Ports

The South Wales ports of Barry, Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Port Talbot are owned and operated by Associated British Ports. This website may be used to access information common to all ports (such as terms and conditions of trade, planned shipping movements, etc) and specific information about a particular port (such as the port's byelaws, acceptance tables, etc).

Marine control in each port, with the exception of Port Talbot harbour, operates as a tidal service. Port Talbot harbour operates a 24 hour service. From 1 July 2010 the ports of Barry, Cardiff and Newport will be represented collectively by a new Local Port Service [LPS] based in Cardiff. The new LPS will provide a 24 hour point of contact by VHF and telephone* for vessels and stakeholders requiring port specific information such as dock, lock operation times, berth availability, pilot boarding times and meteorological and hydrological data.

All plans published on this website are current plans. If you wish to be informed when a plan is amended or replaced please register your interest with ABP's Marine Administrator - lpsadmin@abports.co.uk
