The Port sees fisheries as a Brexit opportunity for Wales. Opportunities centre on maximising the value from existing economic clusters – whether engineering or fishing – particularly in manufacturing and processing. Regaining control of access and the management of Wales’ fishing resources will present the possibility to incrementally grow the domestic fishing fleet (over 10m vessels), increase domestic fish landings and facilitate more processing at Welsh ports to the benefit of coastal communities. This is not about supplanting foreign fleets but about being in control of the issue of licences and quotas to foreign and domestic vessels in a way that reinforces the economics of onshore logistics, service and processing centres. This blue business growth would align with the aims of the Economic Action Plan and the Marine Plan for Wales, but will be dictated by the settlement forged between the UK Government and the European Union (“EU”), the content of the UK Fisheries Bill and the devolved framework agreed between the UK and Welsh governments. Port of Milford Haven overview The Port of Milford Haven is Wales’ largest port and Britain’s largest energy port.
