Port of Cork eyes €10m deepwater quay for bigger liners
The port authority plans to significantly increase the number of cruise liner visits to Cork in the next five years and wants to concentrate all berthing in Cobh, rather than have some liners docked in Ringaskiddy.
Port of Cork commercial manager Captain Michael McCarthy said the newer cruise vessels coming off the production line were Quantum Class and held nearly double the number of passengers of conventional liners.
