==Port of Mostyn==
The Port of Mostyn is privately owned and is one of the oldest ports in the country; in the past, it handled cargoes including steel, coal, timber, woodpulp, animal feedstuffs and fertilizers. Nowadays, it specialises in the assembly and installation of wind turbines. It has been involved in the construction of [[North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm|North Hoyle]] (constructed 2003–2004), [[Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm|Burbo Bank]] (2006–2007), [[Rhyl Flats]] (2008–2009) and [[Gwynt y Môr]] (2012–2015); it was involved in part of the work building [[Robin Rigg Wind Farm|Robin Rigg]] and [[Walney Wind Farm|Walney]] windfarms.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.portofmostyn.co.uk/about.php?title=Overview- |title=Overview of the port |publisher=The Port of Mostyn Ltd. |access-date=25 April 2016}}</ref>

In early 2023, the Port of Mostyn applied to [[Natural Resources Wales]] (NRW) for a marine licence. This was to build a new 350 metre-long quay wall and reclaim 4.5 hectares of land behind it to create new berths for ships, as well as deepening existing berths and re-dredging the approach channel.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://nation.cymru/news/north-wales-port-reveals-major-expansion-plans/ | title=North Wales port reveals major expansion plans | date=February 2023 }}</ref>
