Iarnród Éireann to invest €8m in Rosslare port

IARNRÓD Éireann has announced plans to invest more than €8 million in further developing infrastructure at Rosslare Europort, of which the company is port authority.

The funds will go towards improving the port’s terminal infrastructure in order to cater for its future growth and additional shipping needs. Rosslare is currently ranked as the fastest-growing ro-ro (roll-on/roll-off) port in the country, with a 14% increase in freight volumes recorded last year and a 10% rise recorded to date this year. The port recorded a surplus of €3.1m last year, on a revenue of €11.4m.

Additional investment will go towards expanding the existing trailer compound at the port, allowing for continued growth in capacity.
