Latest Development News

In anticipation of the increasing size and capacity of vessels, there are plans in place to upgrade the port and the surrounding area.

One of the plans is to create two new riverside berths in Dublin Harbour. Completion of the works for a dump at a sea dredge will make this possible. Efforts are consciously taken to avoid major disruptions to the marine life in the region.

There are also plans in place for a refurbished Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) freight facility in the port. It is to increase the ability to handle the expected increase in the RoRo units at Dublin Port. The facility’s capacity is generated from the rearrangement of existing port lands to enable more effective space for processing unaccompanied RoRo units from Europe and the United Kingdom.

An old jetty will give way to two modern jetties of 270 metres each. The modern jetties will be able to accommodate the largest ferries measuring 240 metres in length and which have been future-proofed to allow for shore to ship power in the future. Other than increasing the port capacity for the future, the surrounding area has also benefitted from the development as well. There will be enhanced public and community amenity with a 5.5km of cycle and pedestrian routes. Efforts for additional habitat are also made along the coastal path area. This also helps to improve the biodiversity in the region.
