Teignmouth is a versatile port capable of accommodating a variety of trades, including both bulk and packaged cargoes. It has a long-established reputation for handling ball clay and has built up a substantial animal-feed import business. The port also operates its own fully computerised warehouse stock-control system.

The product of a £5m investment by ABP, the new Western Quays development has greatly enhanced the port’s cargo-handling facilities. The development required the straightening of the quay wall, deepening of the berths and the construction of a new 3,000 sq m transit shed. The work has created room for more frequent arrivals of the larger ships that now use the port, and an impressive acceleration in turnaround times for vessels.
