The Port area is approximately 3, 500 or 14 sq kms. The Port benefits from being centrally located in the Irish Sea with a number of berths approximately 1 Mile from the open sea. The Port is not tidally restricted and is open 24 hrs a day for deep-sea and coastal vessels.

Chart Datum
Chart Datum (CD) is a level set low enough to ensure that the tide rarely falls below it. The UK usually determines this as being approximately the level of Lowest Astronomical Tide. In effect, this is the minimum depth that can be achieved by a quayside or port entrance channel.
Datwm Siart

Vessel Dimensions
Length overall (LOA) means the maximum length of a vessel's hull when measured parallel to the waterline.
A ship’s beam refers to its width at the widest point, when measured at the ship's nominal waterline.
The draft of a ship's hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel), which includes the thickness of the hull. The draft of a ship or boat signifies the minimum depth of water it can safely navigate.
Dimensiynau Llongau
Mae cyfanswm hyd (LOA) yn golygu uchafswm hyd corff llong pan fesurir hynny yn gyfochrog â llinell y dŵr.
Mae lled llong yn cyfeirio at ei lled yn y rhan lletaf, pan fesurir hynny wrth linell dŵr nominal y llong.
Dyfnder corff llong yw'r pellter fertigol rhwng llinell y dŵr a gwaelod corff y llong (cêl), sy'n cynnwys trwch corff y llong. Mae dyfnder cwch neu long yn nodi isafswm dyfnder y dŵr y gall ei fordwyo'n ddiogel.
