Shannon Foynes Port Company, consistent with its Masterplan, Vision 2041, launched in 2013, has embarked on a record investment programme at its ports that will transform the Shannon Estuary into a major international shipping and economic hub.
This programme is underpinned by the designation of Shannon Foynes Port Company as an EU Core Network Port (TEN-T) and a Tier 1 Port of national significance in the National Ports Policy, effectively identifying the Port as a commercial water course of international significance.
We are already well underway with our medium-term programme that will see significant development of infrastructure at Foynes and Limerick ports.
