The ship in question is located in the Port of Drogheda. Ownership of this port company was transferred to Louth County Council in 2017 and oversight of the company rests with the county council. It is therefore advised that any queries regarding the projected dates of removal of the ship from the Port of Drogheda be directed to Louth County Council, or to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, as the parent Department for the county council.
