Steel & Other Metals

Cardiff is a major UK steel-handling port, which accommodates both large ocean-going and smaller short-sea vessels, and receives shipments from all over the world.

Cardiff Stevedoring operates steel warehousing for several key steel traders.

Passengers & Cruises

Cardiff is an attractive port of call for visiting cruise liners. The port is the ideal location from which to explore the region�s award-winning attractions and the beautiful scenery of the Wye Valley, Brecon Beacons National Park and the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. The Celtic Manor Resort, host venue of the 2012 Ryder Cup, is just east of the port, which sits alongside one of Europe�s most exciting and stylish waterfront developments, featuring boutiques, iconic buildings and artwork and alfresco dining. The port has a number of facilities approved for accommodating cruise vessels alongside and an anchorage just a short tender ride away for larger vessels.
