Belfast Harbour Area - Port and Industrial Functions
Belfast Harbour is a strategic marine transport hub with continued manufacturing and industrial uses, including Bombardier heavy manufacturing and the Duncrue Industrial Estate, serving import-export functions.
The port of Belfast is a strategic marine transport hub providing access to Britain, Europe and the rest of the world. It has an important economic function facilitating the import and export of goods. Despite a decline in the traditional manufacturing industries over the past 30 years, the harbour estate continues to be a prominent centre for manufacturing and industry, with heavy manufacturing continuing through the presence of Bombardier, and industrial uses continuing to dominate in the Duncrue Industrial Estate.
