By the end of the 20th century the docks were no longer used to export coal, although there was some traffic in coke.

As of 2014 the docks were being operated by ABP and covered a total port acreage of 531 acres (215 ha).

The docks are connected by a link road to the M4 motorway, and are linked to the regional railway network, with terminal facilities for handling containers.
They also had cranes, mechanical handling equipment and a weighbridge.
Roll-on/roll-off vessels could use stern and three-quarter ramp discharge.
There were more than 14,000 square metres (150,000 sq ft) of warehouse space, and large areas of outdoor storage.
There were facilities for 45,000 cubic metres (1,600,000 cu ft) liquid bulk storage.

The Barry chemicals complex is situated beside the Barry Docks, as are industrial estates such as the Atlantic Trading Estate, between Barry and Sully.
In 2007 the Docks handled 456,000 tonnes (449,000 long tons; 503,000 short tons) of cargo, of which 370,000 tonnes (360,000 long tons; 410,000 short tons) was chemicals.

The docks were being used to handle liquid chemicals for companies such as Dow Corning.

The port also had equipment for handling dry cargoes such as scrap metal, steel, coal, cement, and aggregates.

It was being used for import of timber from Scandinavia and the Baltic.
In 2010 the Barry docks handled 281,000 tonnes (277,000 long tons; 310,000 short tons) of cargo.

In 2012 the Docks directly employed 23 full-time employees, but this does not include people working as crews on the dredging vessels or pilots based at Barry.
The docks had 114 tenants in 2003, which had fallen to 103 tenants in 2007.

In June 2014 it was reported that the Vale of Glamorgan Council had ruled that there was no need for an extensive environmental assessment of a solar farm planned by ABP for an unused part of the dock.
The solar farm would be built on two brownfield sites and would cover a 51 acres (21 ha).
Power would be delivered direct to businesses in and around the port, with the surplus fed into the grid.
The £5M solar farm was in fact constructed and the 20-acre site was operational by August 2015 and can provide 4.5MWh of electricity.
