The last ship to berth at Port Talbot steelworks

On Saturday 31 August 2024, the The MV Trinity Island berthed at Tata Steel's deep water harbour in Port Talbot. At 14:00 on Monday 2 September, the last of the 44,000 tonnes of coke was unloaded to feed Blast Furnace 4.

Current and former employees gathered at the jetty to see the last 20 tonne ‘grab’ of material unloaded, and Production Manager Mark Davies presented the captain of the ship with a commemorative plaque to mark this moment in history.

Head of Public Relations, Tim Rutter, spoke to Section Engineering Manager, Mark Powys to discuss the history of the harbour and the emotions felt during another milestone in Tata Steel UK's transition to a green steel future.
