Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Fáilte Ireland, Shannon Group and Port of Waterford Company: Chairpersons Designate
Mr. Des Whelan:
We have brought in a new service. In the port's history, we never had a deep-sea service which went to Rotterdam which would allow one to export on to the US or China. Glanbia, situated only 100 yd from the Port of Waterford, had to export through Dublin or Cork because we did not have a deep-sea service to Rotterdam. We initiated that last July and the take-up has been quite good. We are of hopeful it will sustain itself.
