Galway Harbour Company has introduced a plan for the development of its quay berths.
The project will be completed in four stages and the initial works will include the reclamation of 19.86 hectares of quay areas and back-up lands, as well as the formation of a 400m x 30m quay, construction of a 200m x 20m quay, dredging of channels and a 400m diameter turning circle.
A western marina will also be formed, providing 216 amenity berths.
This development program will include provision of a 660m quay berth, and will consist of berthing facilities for general cargo vessels, oil tankers, passenger vessels, fishing vessels and container vessels.
