Milford Haven Becomes An Oil Port At Last
Milford Haven in Wales, famed as a natural harbor, has emerged as a major oil terminal. Once a fishing town with 150 trawlers and 5,000 workers, it now handles up to 280,000 deadweight ton tankers, with 27 million tons of oil shipped last year. No hinterland industry accompanies the port, and unemployment remains high despite dredging and new terminals.
