The port’s marketing manager Captain Michael McCarthy also emphasised the company was still intent on developing a new €226 million deep water terminal at Ringaskiddy, but also saw immense potential with the Marino Point site near Cobh.

“The port has recently received a number of inquiries from the bio-energy sector. If we are successful with the bid, we plan to use some of the land at Marino Point to create a centre for the Irish bio-fuels industry,” Capt McCarthy said.
