As part of its expansion plans, Shannon Foynes Port Company intends to significantly expand its container business. With 75% of the national population within our catchment area, the Shannon Foynes Port Company's  expansion of container services is not alone in local but national interest.

With, at 32 metres, the deepest waters in Ireland and among the deepest in Europe, a handling capacity for large vessels up to 200,000 deadweight tonnes and access to the national motorway network to be provided by new motorway directly to the port, the transformation of Shannon Foynes Port Company into an international container port will compliment its bulk activities, which are already the largest in the country.

The development of these operations at our Foynes terminal will attract significant logistics investment and job creation, underpinning the regional and national economy as we step forward into a new international operating environment post Brexit.
