Port Facilities

The Port of Belfast can trace its origins back to 1613 and emerged as the most important port in Ulster in the early eighteenth century.

Since its formation, the Belfast Harbour Commissioners have developed and improved the Port, reclaiming land to accommodate new quays, new trades and changes in shipping and cargohandling technology giving us the efficient, modern facility that we have today.
