A&P Falmouth offers a broad scope of facilities and equipment, allowing it to handle many different cargoes, from bulks to break bulk and containers. As Cornwall’s only deep-water port with alongside facilities, it is an important gateway to the South West of the country.
Cargo Handling
A&P Falmouth is capable of handling all types of general cargo – from coal and stone products to bulk fertilizers. The port’s strategic role in receiving casualties means that restowing and recovery of damaged cargo is also carried out by us on a regular basis.
Cruise Ship Facilities
A&P Falmouth has successfully marketed the port as a gateway to one of the UK’s premier tourist destinations: the Duchy of Cornwall. Many cruise providers make full use of the port for its transatlantic and European positioning, alongside facilities, sheltered deep-water anchorage and a purpose-built landing facility for passengers arriving by tender.
