Ports & Shipping Review: Cork Environment Recognition, Arklow’s ‘Green’ Bay, Bantry €24m Redevelopment, EU Co-Fund Dublin Port Studies
#Ports&ShippingReview: Over the last fortnight, Jehan Ashmore has reported on the shipping scene, where the Port of Cork achieved a (PERS) Port Environmental Review System certification.
Among the other ports awarded the PERS certification was Moerdijk, the Dutch port which is to where Arklow Rally was bound this week having departed Dublin Port. The general cargo ship had docked in Alexandra Basin along with fleetmates Arklow Ruler and notably the 'green' newbuild Arklow Bay which features a 'bulb-less' bow to optimise hull performance in varying sea-states.
Port Cork Company is to embark on phase one of a €24m redevelopment of Bantry Harbour which will encourage more seaborne trade and cruise line business.
The EU TEN-T Programme will co-fund almost €2.5 million for studies on capacity development of Dublin Port.
