CSO Statistics Reveal Irish Ports Handled More Traffic in 2013 than Previous Year

27th June 2014

#CSOportStats – Port Statistics for 2013 have been released from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) which show their analysis on Irish Ports which handled more traffic when compared to 2012.

The annual analysis also shows that the number of vessels arriving in Irish ports during 2013 increased by 1.1% to 11,940.

The routes between Dublin and three UK ports – Milford Haven (oil products only), Holyhead and Liverpool were the busiest routes for inward movement of goods in 2013. These accounted for nearly one quarter of the total weight of goods received. The Dublin-Liverpool and Dublin-Holyhead routes were also the busiest routes in terms of goods forwarded.
