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 in 2023 handled around 24 million tonnes of trade, with 1.7 million people travelling through the port on passenger ferries, as well as a record 158 cruise calls.

PURPOSE

To serve as a maritime gateway for trade by operating a sustainable and world leading regional port and investing to develop the Harbour Estate as a socially responsible key economic hub.

VISION

To be a world leading regional port, a key economic hub for the region and an iconic waterfront for Belfast.
