Opening of T4

The opening of Terminal 4, a newly redeveloped RoRo freight terminal in the Port. This marks a major milestone in the delivery of the Alexandra Basin Redevelopment (ABR) Project and will futureproof Dublin Port’s cargo capacity by handling over one-fifth of RoRo units at the Port.

The Substation opens

The official opening of our restored redbrick Substation on the corner of East Wall Road and Alexandra Road. The building has been expertly restored and reimagined as a modern interpretive centre and marks another milestone in achieving port-city integration, while affording visibility of the old city wall to visitors.

Art and Engagement

The Pumphouse formerly housed the steam engine which powered the gates of Graving Dock 1 has been repurposed by Dublin Port into an artistic and cultural venue and is a key part of the Heritage Zone at Dublin Port. Dublin Port’s plans for the Heritage Zone at the Pumphouse include expanding its use for public exhibitions, events and performances creating a distinct and unique destination in the heart of the working port as part of port-city integration plans up to 2040.

Tolka-Estuary Greenway

The Tolka-Estuary Greenway is another important milestone in delivering on our Port-City commitments as part of Masterplan 2040. The new cycling and pedestrian route linking the River Liffey with the Tolka-Estuary will no doubt prove to be an incredibly popular amenity and provide people with novel access to the Port and the opportunity to see the maritime and industrial landmarks along the route.

Dublin SafePort

The health and safety of everybody who works in or uses Dublin Port remains an absolute priority. Dublin SafePort is a Port-wide initiative launched in 2022 to enhance safety culture and practice for all workers in Dublin Port.

During the year we launched the SafePort Golden Rules, a set of 10 rules designed to enable Port Management and the seven Terminal Operators to engage with employees and visitors in the safest possible manner on Dublin Port sites and promote a culture of safety-first behaviour.

HVO fuels

We completed a successful first round trial using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a low-carbon biofuel produced from waste material that can be used as a direct replacement for conventional marine diesel, in one of its Pilot Boats. The Pilotage Service is estimated to contribute up to 20% of our carbon emissions and this is a significant aim for reduction, in line with Ireland’s Public Sector Energy targets.
