In the southwest, the Bantry Bay Port Company is working with community groups to consider further developments at the Abbey pier area and the tidal slob area in the inner harbour with the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (RIAI).

That’s revealed in the Port of Cork Company’s annual report for 2021, which shows strong financial performance.

Combined, the Ports of Cork and Bantry reported a total consolidated traffic throughput of 10.6m tonnes last year. However, throughput at the Whiddy Island oil storage facility in Bantry declined significantly (62%).

There was an 18% increase in turnover from €33.7m in 2020 to €39.8m in 2021. The company’s profits also increased, with an operating gain of €7.8m (€6.1m in 2020).
