Your Dublin Port
Welcome to Dublin Port, the largest freight and passenger port in Ireland, with some €165 billion of trade flowing through each year. There has been a port in Dublin since the 1700s, situated in what is now the thriving UNESCO biosphere of Dublin Bay. An integral part of Dublin city, the port welcomes thousands of visitors a year to the Great South Wall, the Greenway and to events in our Pumphouse and Substation. Welcome to the hardworking heart of Dublin.

Not Just A Port
Dublin Port has been at the heart of Irish commerce for centuries, but culture, community and the environment thrive here too.
Trade
Trade
Dublin Port is intrinsically linked to the economic success of Ireland. We handle 80% of all unitised freight in the Republic of Ireland, with most cargo heading to or from within 90km of the port itself. With over 15,000 ship movements a year, we play a critical role in the supply chain system, keeping our city and our country moving forward.
Community

People make the port the place it is today. From Stella Maris, St Patrick’s, and Clanna Gael sports clubs, to our Docklands, Ringsend, Clontarf and East Wall communities, these people and their stories are part of who we are. Such long standing connections with those around us are what keeps Dublin Port strongly intertwined with the city and local communities.
