Marinas & Ports

The Port of Plymouth is operated by the Ministry of Defense, the majority of the traffic in the port is either military or military support; the port serves the biggest naval base in western Europe, with base ported vessels including nuclear submarines and large warships, and a large number of visiting ships receiving Operational Sea Training. 

There are three statutory Harbours, ABP Millbay, Sutton Harbour Authority and Cattewater Harbour Commissioners that operate within the Dockyard Port.
