Dublin Port Company logo. Growing, Sustaining and Developing Dublin Bay

International shipping trends are moving to the increased use of larger vessels. Currently ferries operating in Dublin Port have a maximum length of 210m. There are RoRo vessels already operating elsewhere that are 240m in length that cannot currently be accommodated in Dublin Port 

We welcome responses both in relation to the issues raised that we have listed and also to those that we have overlooked or not understood. You can e-mail us directly at masterplan@dublinport.ie or attend one of the public information events

Key questions include

What size ships should Dublin Port be able to cater for?

Will we need deeper berths?

Are existing berths long enough?

Is there likely to be sufficient demand to economically justify deepening the bar?
