Dublin Port Company published a Masterplan in 2012 to guide the development of Dublin Port in the period to 2040. The Masterplan is available on its website .

Dublin Port has committed in its Masterplan to utilise the existing footprint of the port to the greatest extent possible. The company currently has an application with An Bord Pleanála under the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act 2006 for the redevelopment of Alexander Basin encompassing infill of the dry dock area.

I do not consider it appropriate to comment on the matter while that independent statutory planning process continues.
