Clare Maritime Economic Zone

The overall proposal is to provide maritime training courses (and value added training) for non-seafaring personnel in a wide variety of maritime sectors. To create a specialist commercial training facility, based in Kilrush in West Clare providing mandatory maritime training courses and value-added training for non-seafaring personnel taking up positions at sea.

The Shannon Estuary has the potential to provide the complete supply chain for the emerging Offshore Renewable Energy sector.

The Clare MEZ facility is ideally located in West Clare on the Shannon Estuary to service the Offshore Wind Energy sector in terms of training and development in a wide range of basic maritime safety training amongst others.
