Barry Docks, or the port of Barry, is located nine miles west of Cardiff. Built in the 1880s to export coal, Barry was by 1913 the largest coal exporting port in the world. In the early 21st century, the port is a key facility for the region's chemical industry, handling liquid bulks for major companies including Dow Corning. Barry also handles steel, scrap metal, containers, dry bulks, coal and aggregates.
