The Port of Mostyn
The Port of Mostyn is privately owned and operated. It is a Statutory Harbour Authority and is also the Pilotage Authority for the Dee Estuary.
An Ideal Location
Located on the south bank of the Dee Estuary in North Wales, the port is served by a good road infrastructure linking up with the motorway network joining the M6 and the M62 corridor.
In addition to the road network, the port has its own railway siding linking it directly to the main national rail network.
Major Development Programme
Over the past decade the port has undertaken a major development programme, with 310m of Riverside berth being constructed to provide lock free access to all cargo handling areas, a Roro Terminal, and a purpose built berth for loading wings for the Airbus A380 Super Jumbo.
This development has enabled the port to capitalise on the changing needs of its customers from unitisation to project cargoes.
Offshore Windfarm Construction
The creation of these facilities has seen The Port of Mostyn become a major player as a base for the Offshore Windfarm Construction and Support Industry.
It has seen four major wind farms constructed from Mostyn over the last 5 years, the furthest being Robin Rigg in the Solway Firth.
This new type of business for the Port has attracted other ancillary business to the port which have also taken advantage of the attractive facilities on offer.
