Corporate
Belfast Harbour is a Trust Port
Belfast Harbour is Northern Ireland’s primary gateway to the rest of the world, and the 2,000 acre Harbour Estate is home to a 760 businesses and an amazingly diverse community concentrated around Belfast’s waterfront.
As a Trust Port, all profits generated are reinvested back into the Port for the benefit of its customers, stakeholders and the development of Belfast Harbour.
For generations, Belfast Harbour has been a core asset to the local economy and despite unprecedented challenges throughout the past two years it handled a record 25.6 million tonnes of cargo in 2021, including more than 730k freight units and welcomed 1.5m passengers.
