Wales — South Wales industrial ports and the Irish Sea gateways
Welsh port activity divides between the South Wales industrial cluster along the M4 — Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Port Talbot — and the Irish Sea ferry gateways at Holyhead, Fishguard and Pembroke Dock, with the Milford Haven energy waterway alongside. Heavy industry drives one half of the pallet market and trailer freight drives the other.

- Steel, metals and bulk handling in South Wales calls for heavy bearers and dunnage more often than standard pallets.
- Irish Sea trailer freight rewards dimensional consistency across a load.
- Movements into Ireland are EU entries, so destination wood packaging rules must be checked per consignment.
- The South Wales ports sit close enough together for multi-site delivery routing.
- West Wales road distances make planned consolidated deliveries the sensible default.
