Following studies, Bremore in Fingal Co, Dublin, was selected for a new deepwater port.

Port of Tyne’s £6.3m warehouse has been officially opened by Nigel Sherlock, Lord Lieutenant for Tyne and Wear. At 18.6 metres high, the new facility provides palletised warehousing for high value products bringing the total warehousing capacity to 5.7 hectares within Tyne Dock. The building has 18 dock levellers and has been designed to accommodate a VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) racking system, creating a total of 5000 large and 18,000 standard pallet locations.
