PORT OF TRURO

The Port of Truro is 2,500 acres in size and has a significant number of leisure moorings together with visitor’s pontoons and quays. The entire Fal estuary holds approximately 4,500 moorings, 1500 of which are located within the port of Truro. The port also has a long history of commercial activity and current operations are focussed at Lighterage Quay, Newham. The quay currently handles general bulk cargoes, primarily scrap and a ship recycling facility has been established. In addition, there are a number of deep water lay-up berths for large vessels situated in the River Fal, near King Harry Ferry. These moorings can accommodate vessels up to 190m lengths overall.
