Proposed Development Activity

Description:

Dublin Port Company (DPC) need to carry out regular maintenance dredging of the navigation channel, basins and berthing pockets in order to maintain their advertised charted depths and hence provide safe navigation for vessels to and from the Port. Maintenance dredging campaigns are required approximately every 18 months but may need to be carried out more regularly as a result of extreme weather events causing excessive siltation in the channel.

This application is for DPC’s maintenance dredging requirements to be carried out in 2020 and 2021.

Location:

Dublin Port. Adjoining townlands: North Dock B and Pembroke East A.
