The Port of Milford Haven has today completed the acquisition of the site at Wards Yard, Castle Pill. Although there are no immediate development plans for the site, the Port is keen to ensure it is protected for future investment and development. The site is located directly facing the Waterway and could in due course form a logical and potentially exciting extension of Milford Waterfront, the company said in its press release.
Port of Milford Haven
The Port of Milford Haven is the UK’s top energy port and Wales’ busiest port handling around 20% of Britain’s seaborne trade in oil and gas. It is widely recognised in the industry as the energy capital of the UK.
The Port, along with the cluster of energy-related businesses along the Waterway, is a key driver of economic activity in Pembrokeshire, attracting inward investment and supporting over 4,000 jobs.
The Port of Milford Haven also owns and operates Pembroke Port and Milford Dock. Activities such as cargo handling, ferry operations, fish landing and cruise calls as well as a first class marina are spread across these two sites.
