Dublin Port
Leading sea port of both country and island of Ireland
About
Dublin Port (Irish: Calafort Átha Cliath) is the seaport of Dublin, Ireland, of both historical and contemporary economic importance. Approximately two-thirds of Ireland's maritime freight traffic, in turn almost 90% of all freight, travels via the port, which is by far the busiest on the island of Ireland.
The port lies mostly on the northern side of the mouth area of the River Liffey, with an enclave on the southern side also. It is served by road and rail. The port is operated by a State-owned commercial company, successor to bodies dating back to the 18th century. Dublin's port was previously located more than 2 km upstream.
