Container traffic through the Port of Cork increased in 2019

The Port of Cork recorded a 5% increase in container traffic in 2019 as it looks to complete and open a new container terminal in Ringaskiddy this year.

Total traffic through both the Port of Cork and Bantry Bay Port Company fell by 5% from 10.6 million tonnes to just over 10 million tonnes in 2019. The port company attributed this decline to fewer volumes of dry bulk cargo through the port.
