Dublin Port eyes sustained growth in spite of Brexit

Dublin Port expects to see average yearly trade volume growth of over 3% for the next two-and-a-half decades.

New figures, published yesterday, show that the port’s cargo volumes grew for a fourth successive year in 2016, and by 6.3% to 34.9m gross tonnes.

Dublin Port Company chief executive Eamonn O’Reilly said volume growth is expected to top 3.3% per year up to 2040.
