The port of Shannon Foynes has unveiled its €32m jetty expansion and logistics park as it aims to establish the estuary as a floating offshore wind hub.

The two-year programme of works delivered an additional 117m jetty, and 12,000 square metres of setdown storage and also delivered one of the country's largest port logistics parks on a 38-hectare site with planning permission for extensive logistics warehousing units.
