Dublin Port

Did you know we sail to Dublin Port up to 4x a day? That’s up to 1,400x a year! 

And there is a very good reason for this. For world-class facilities and sustainable initiatives, Dublin Port is hard to beat.

Of the 1.24 million Irish Sea freight shipments in the first 9 months of 2022, 44.5% went into Dublin. Meanwhile, almost 50% of all sailings into Ireland also went into Dublin. 

Seeing roughly two thirds of all Irish Sea traffic, Dublin Port helps traders moving abnormal loads (including refrigerated goods) with state of the art facilities; such as:

• refrigerated equipment
• pre-trip inspections
• electricity plug-ins

And more. 

The Port is also committed to prioritising sustainability in future developments. 

“It is our policy to manage our obligations to the environment in a responsible manner and to take a sustainable approach to developing the port’s business.”

As the second-biggest port on the Irish Sea (second only to Dublin), the Port of Liverpool is one of England’s major seaports for freight shipments, handling as much as 60 ferry vessels every month.

The popularity of the port is no surprise, with leading facilities such as:
