Belfast Container Terminal (BCT) operates the sole container terminal at the Victoria Terminal 3 (VT3) in Belfast.

Belfast Container Terminal (BCT) operates the sole container terminal at Belfast under a services concession agreement with Belfast Harbour Commissioners (BHC) at a 27 acre site in Belfast Harbour. We are delighted to announce the extension of our concession for the operation of Belfast Container Terminal for a further six years to 2032. This further extension is testament to our operational excellence in terminal operations and will allow us to build upon the productive partnership that we have shared with Belfast Harbour Commissioners since the concession’s inception in 2015. BHC completed a £40 million re-investment project in 2023 which included extensive civil works and the delivery of two new Liebherr gantry cranes and eight new electrically operated RTGs incorporating the latest technologies including remote operation similar to the RTGs operated at DFT. To supplement the above handling equipment, BCT is operating a fleet of Tugsmaster and trailers, empty containers handlers and reach stackers.
