Steel, timber, paper, fertiliser, grain, petroleum and LPG move across Drogheda's quays alongside containers and general freight. Ireland's busy east-coast river port on the Boyne handles roughly 1.6 million tonnes a year over more than 700 vessel calls. Direct motorway access links the terminals to Dublin and the country's main industrial belt, with rail available for inland distribution. As an EU external-border port, full customs clearance applies to imports from Great Britain following Brexit. Shippers needing deep-sea container capacity typically route through Dublin or Greenore, whereas Drogheda is competitive for bulk, breakbulk and project cargo.
