Port of Cork Delivers Strong 2025 Performance While Accelerating Major Infrastructure and Energy Investments

The Port of Cork Company (PoCC) has published its Annual Report for 2025, reporting increased cargo throughput, turnover and profitability as it continues to invest in the infrastructure required to support Ireland’s trade, connectivity and energy transition.

This €100 million investment will make the Port of Cork the first port in the Republic to provide dedicated quayside infrastructure for the offshore renewable energy sector.

Construction is progressing well and the facility is scheduled for completion in Q4 2026.
