We would now like to update you on the planned implementation of a new surcharge set to be applied by Dublin Port Company on the movement of Laden freight units throughout the port.

Dublin Port – New Infrastructure Charge Confirmed

Dublin Port has now confirmed to Irish Ferries its intent to introduce an Infrastructure Charge or “levy” on all laden units entering or departing the Port, in addition to other separate inflationary increases. 

This infrastructure charge forms part of Dublin Port’s own investment and cost-recovery initiatives for committed Port development, details of which can be found here.

This charge will be applied to all laden units that utilise our Holyhead and Cherbourg services and is applicable from the 1st of March.

We appreciate your continued support of our services and understanding in this matter.
