Work will begin this month on the first element of a major restructuring of the port of 

Foynes in Co Limerick. 

It is part of a €50m investment in transforming the port into one of the biggest bulk

 harbours in Europe.

Shannon Foynes Port Company will spend €12m on transforming the 

existing East Jetty area, 

and reclaiming a 3.45 acre section of the port to create a bigger foreshore 

area of activity

 and enable improved bulk discharge times.In time it will create capacity 

for the world's largest cargo

 vessels of 80,000 tonne capacity to travel and unload at Foynes,

 making it one of the few ports

 in Europe capable of handling these massive ships.

Foynes,
with its natural deep water harbour, is the only port in Ireland which will be able to accommodate these new ‘supertankers’ in the future, which it is hoped will lead to a considerable boost in cargo.
