In terms of the categorisation of ports, do we see the potential inclusion of the ability of a port to service offshore wind energy? Is this something that could be included in the categorisation of a port? At present, it is simply tonnage. If a port can facilitate some of the measurements the Minister of State is speaking about in terms of wind energy, could we upgrade a port based on its ability to do this?
