Strategic Development
In 1999 the Port of Cork prepared a Strategic Development Plan. This plan assists the Port in developing and operating to suit the future needs of its customers, to the benefit of the customers and the local and regional businesses dependent on trade that passes through the Port. The Strategic Plan looks at the predicted growth in traffic, predictions in National Studies, emerging proposals for City Docks Redevelopment and the potential loss of facilities in the harbour, evolving vessel and trade trends, leisure, residential, amenity, environmental and commercial demands with Cork Harbour and the constraints and limits on siting new facilities with Cork Harbour.Port of Cork Strategic
Development Plan – Update March 2012
The Port of Cork began engaging with An Bord Pleanala in December regarding implementing the initial phase of the company’s Strategic Development Plan. Since then the Port has also met with local residents associations and Town Councils around the harbour to update them on progress and outlining the proposals currently under discussion with the Board. The Company hopes to lodge a planning application for a development in Ringaskiddy later in 2012. Further consultation with residents, business groups, customers, local authorities and other statutory agiencies will take place before the application is lodged.
