“As petroleum imports decline in future years, the MP2 Project will allow us to turn oil berths into container berths.”

O’Reilly said that the project is expected to cost €320m. However, the final figure can be decided only after detailed design and construction inflation is considered, post-planning permission.

Before applying for permission, Dublin Port Company consulted with agencies, government departments, communities, customers, state and other public bodies.

At present, Dublin Port is undergoing the first stage of development under Port’s Masterplan 2040. Under this, Alexandra Basin is being developed to accommodate bigger ships.
