Dublin port to get €110m boost in next five years
The spend will shape the first phase of a more ambitious €600m development plan for the port, spanning the next 40 years.
Overall, the plan is to double capacity at the port, allowing it to handle 60 million tonnes of goods by 2040, and to increase throughput by 2.5% per annum. However, this initial investment will focus on maximising the use of the port’s existing capacity. That will include the building of a new dedicated car storage facility between East Wall Road and the Port Tunnel, a move that would free-up space for other port activity.
