Cork down by 18%
The Port of Cork Company experienced a challenging year in 2009 with all areas of port business exposed to the current economic slowdown.
Over the past fifteen months port customers and the majority of businesses in Ireland, have seen a significant change in trading conditions with an overall reduction in cargo volumes of 18% coming through the port.
The port is planning to engage with stakeholders in January and February 2010 in relation to the future needs, objectives and required facilities. It will also update people on the assessments carried out to date and to afford any interested stakeholders an opportunity to comment on the plans or to raise any particular issues of concern.
