WASHINGTON: WALES’ ports, including Newport’s, are key to the country’s economy, the Welsh Government’s economy and infrastructure secretary Ken Skates has said. Control over ports is to be devolved to Wales from next year. And, speaking at an event organised by the Welsh Ports Group, Mr Skates said: “Ports in Wales are uniquely placed to be a driving force for economic wealth by supporting economic growth and jobs throughout Wales, as well as bringing added value to local communities.” He added: “Devolution will bring exciting opportunities for us to enhance our working relationships with the sector and support the key role it has to play in achieving a prosperous, secure united and connected Wales. “Collaborative working with the ports sector and businesses throughout Wales on the unique risks and opportunities Brexit represents is crucially important to to ensure solutions which maximise the economic contribution ports make to our communities.” Wales’ ports handle 55 million tonnes of cargo every year.
