Bird Port
SIMEC Bird
Port, formerly known as Bird Port, is a port located on
the River
Usk
in Newport,
South Wales. Established in 1900, the port boasts a rich history and modern
facilities. With over 160,000 sq ft of undercover storage and unique double
gantry cranes, SIMEC Bird Port efficiently handles high-value steel products. As the only
fully-undercover cargo-handling facility on Britain's west coast,
it allows year-round operations regardless of weather conditions. Notably, the
port plays a vital role in Liberty Steel Newport's GREENSTEEL sustainability strategy
due to its proximity to the rolling mill. While the port itself doesn't offer
specific shopping venues, visitors can explore the diverse shopping options
available in nearby Newport. For nightlife options, pubs, bars, and clubs can be found
within Newport itself, or for a more vibrant scene, Cardiff or Bristol offer
exciting possibilities.
