The Continuing Development of Dublin Port
There has been a significant increase in cross-channel ferry services from Dublin Port.
Seatruck Ferries
Seatruck Ferries became the fifth cross-channel ferry operator with the introduction of the MV Celtic Star, a new daily ferry service from Dublin to Liverpool, and will increase this to a twice-daily service with the introduction of a second vessel this month.
Stena Line
Stena Line also introduced a second ship, the Stena Seatrader, onto the Dublin to Holyhead route.
P&O Irish Sea
P&O Irish Sea have introduced a third vessel on the Dublin to Liverpool route bring the number of vessels it operates on the route to three.
The increased services operating at the port have helped lead to a significant increase in throughput.
Dublin Port Tunnel
The opening of Dublin Port Tunnel to HGV traffic on December 22nd 2006 is a welcome development for port users providing a direct access route to the M1 and the M50. Under Dublin City Council?s strategy introduced on February 19th 2007 all HGV traffic will use the Port Tunnel between 0:700 and 19:00.
Dublin Port Company has invested significant resources, both financial and operational, to maximize the benefits of the Port Tunnel. This has included upgrading the road infrastructure in and around the port estate and also providing valuable information to Dublin City Council on traffic management issues based on years of experience of dealing with vehicles of port customers, both HGVs and passenger cars, as well as the thousands of commuter passenger cars that pass through the port area daily.

Security
Dublin Port Company has made a significant investment in the security of the Port with the implementation of state-of-the-art CCTV system. In addition the CCTV system will be a major benefit in the management of vessel operations within the port area.
Our ongoing investment in the Port is indicative of our determination that Dublin Port can cater for Ireland's foreign trade into the next century.
