Port of Dublin: 37.99mt handled in 2018 (+4.3% yoy)

"Every year from 1993 to 2007 was a record year in Dublin Port. In the past four years we have seen this pattern re-emerge, with 2018 the fourth year in a row for record growth," Eamonn O'Reilly, Chief Executive, Dublin Port Company, commented.

He continued, "Dublin Port's multi-million euro infrastructure investment programme continued with capital expenditure of €93m during 2018. Our investment in infrastructure is matched by our customers' continuing investments in new ships with huge freight capacity. Even as the €149m 2,800 lanemetre W.B. Yeats enters service in Dublin Port, we are preparing for a second new Irish Ferries' ship with 5,610 lanemetres and also for Stena Line's 3,100 lanemetre E-Flexer, both due to enter service on the Dublin-Holyhead route during 2020."
