Central Statistics Office (CSO) figures show a marginal decrease in the volume of goods handled in six of the seven Irish ports in the third quarter of 2020.

Six of the main Irish ports - Bantry, Dublin, Drogheda, Cork, Shannon and Waterford - handled 12.3 million tonnes of goods in the third quarter of 2020, down 0.1% compared with the same time in 2019.

Goods forwarded from these ports amounted to 4.2 million tonnes during the three months from July to September, while a total of 8.1 million tonnes of goods were received.

The CSO noted that the data for Rosslare is not included in these new figures.
