Milford Haven has expanded as a port extremely rapidly over the last few years, largely as the result of a government decision to make it the major deep-water oil port in the country. Between 1959 and 1974 the amount of cargo handled rose from 200,000 to nearly sixty million tons. In this paper, which was presented at an Ordinary Meeting of the Institute held on 19 November 1975 in the City of London Polytechnic with the President in the Chair, the Harbourmaster describes this development, the problems it brought and how they were solved, and some of the lessons learned.
