Technical Tour
The Port of Cork in conjunction with ITS Ireland are hosting a technical tour of the Port of Cork in tandem with the ITS Ireland Networking event in Cork City on the same date. The tour will outline the Port of Cork’s historic relocation, moving its core commercial operations from the upper harbour at the Cork City and Tivoli Docks downstream to modern, consolidated deep-water facilities in the lower harbour. Centred around the newly operational Cork Container Terminal (CCT) in Ringaskiddy, this once-in-a-generation relocation allows the port to accommodate larger global freight vessels while freeing up prime city-centre docks for urban regeneration. To seamlessly manage the resulting surge in heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic and protect surrounding communities, a comprehensive traffic management framework has been deployed. The cornerstone of this strategy is the Ringaskiddy Freight Mobility Plan, which introduces a mandatory vehicle booking system for all hauliers, extends operating hours to spread arrivals into off-peak periods, and utilizes remote-access traffic monitoring. Furthermore, construction is underway on the M28 Motorway Project, a dedicated upgrade replacing the old N28 that will bypass local bottlenecks to safely channel freight, ultimately slashing vehicle volumes through the villages of Shanbally and Ringaskiddy by over 60%.
