National Ports Policy (2013)

i. Dublin Port already has a dominant position per the 2013 National Ports Strategy - "The port's importance is even more pronounced in the higher-value unitised ( L o b and RoRo) sectors, where it handles approx. 70% of all LoLo and 85% of all RbRo trade in the State"

In addition, as per page 36 of Mr Terry Durney'r presentation tmffte is gravitating to larger ports Where is this growth coming from? 82%from RbRo per Mr Eamonn 0' Reilly's presentation Does DPC also need to be the dominant party in the cruhe.shlp,budness (p~tent ia l ly~tbe expense of Bmre business)?

i. DPC's limited resource is arguably not only land but also quayside access particularly as the 21ha expansion was refused planning permissibn. Graving Dock No 2 entrance uses 24.5 metres of q uayside

ii. The primary allocation of the North Wall Quay to a seasonal business is wasteful/ impractical

Lin kspans on North Wall Quay which facilitate Ro-Ro traffic are being removed so no Ro-Ro. 10-10 can be accommodated in theory bM thFs is unlikely in pactice as quay space is limit4 (these represent 89% of Dublin Port ship artiua Is per ABRP Project Rationale)

ch,.anges in &E which bear on the graving Dock Nr 2

Eastern reclamation area 8 is NOT included on the plan It is suggested that as a consequence of this:=

GravingdockNr2isproposedforclosure. Since the reclamation to the East is no longer available, graving dock 2 has become a convenient "hole in the ground" and the cheapest option to dispose of the contaminated fill from the AB.

The down stream vessel turning area has been deleted from the scheme. Possibly since the nearby reclamation area has been deleted and the further deletion of dredging of this (clean) material may be an economy to the project.

Upstream dredging has been extended to provide alternative vessel turning, resulting in possibly the removal of less material overall, but perhaps more marginally contaminated material. But crucially vessel turning has also resulted in the demolition of a large part of the North River wall. The very structure which is necessary to best berth the cruise ships.

New scheme has very little effect on capacity here.

Berth lengths and width are the same.

The width a t only 115m is a very limiting factor for container usage

For container usage a behind berth width of at least 400m is preferable

Dublin Port Company believe that they should be able to cater for a max draft of lZmetre and 3,500 TEU vessels (less than Panamax). Such vessels are typically LOA 230m . These should be able to use existing ocean pier west ( with tug assistance, if necessary) without widening the entrance.

.'r

It is believed that a new Ro/Ro facility has been proposed in the corner for the Alexandra Quay and the Ocean Pier West. The~e are no details and it is difficult to see the purpose ar layout of this.

K C O M The Alexandra Bulk berth has been increased to 530m from the present 380m I

I A crane way has been extended more than 530m ( seemingly needlessly) , taking it I across the graving dock entrance.

The size of the Bulk Vessel able to use the basin will be restricted by new channel dredge

of 10CD and the basin dredge, to a draft of around 12m; quite a modest bulk ship.

From collated vessels from Lloyds register at 12m draft a bulk carrier averages, 200m

long and 30rn wide. Such vessels can use the basin entrance without widening.

Such vessels can be self unloading. Berthing two such vessels together (in the unlikely

event) needs a quay length of 480m. This could be managed by a vessel spanning the

graving dock with the conveyor over the existing 380m quay length were it necessary.

However the total Bulk throughput of the Port in 2040 is estimated at 3.5mt/annum

(2mt/annurn presently). With a 50,000DWT vessel, then 3.5mt/annum is 70 ships/

annum or one every 5 days. Therefore to extended the quay length to 530m and close

the Dock appears excessive.

There is no advantage to Bulk in closing the Graving Dock Nr

kxoM Drg 16 above shows the ABR proposed works at the North River wall which now provides

a 475m long river berth and a 351m. inner berth. The existing river berth was 730m

(and capable of berthing 2x330m vessels); a reduction of 35%

The existing river berth was the location of the cruise vessels in the Master plan.

From the project rationale document table 13, the max cruise vessel length was given at

300m. From the Harbour master's evidence a 300m vessel can turn in the existing basin

entrance without modification.

But the cruise vessel size has suddenly grown to 330m and this now appears to be the

critical factor driving the ABR entrance widening and manoeuvrability issues.

If the entrance were not widened, and the North Wall Quay retained, that would give

more scope to berth cruise vessels on the riverside. This separates commercial shipping

interests from the tourist interests and is wholly desirable.

If the cruise scheme can o,perate:swithout widening the entrance it-is WIN:WIN . ,
