Port of Cork's elite standards, competive on global stage

Port of Cork Company is working to ensure Ireland and the southern region remain globally competitive, continuously evolving its port infrastructure and facilities to meet world-class standards

The Port of Cork is Ireland’s second-largest port, with a consolidated traffic throughput of 8.9 million tonnes annually. 

That old nautical phrase – ‘anchors aweigh’ – is very appropriate to the fair economic winds presently lifting the fortunes of the Port of Cork.

Its recently released 2024 Annual Report recorded a year of strategic growth, forward planning, and robust operations at the State’s second-largest port. The report showcases strong operational performance for the port authority with a consolidated traffic throughput of 8.9 million tonnes and returning a Group turnover of €52.1 million, an increase of €3.7 million on the previous year.
