About This Seaport
At 360 metres long with 13 metres of draught, the Cork Container Terminal opened at Ringaskiddy in 2022 lets Ireland's south coast handle the largest box ships calling at the country. Container business has shifted there from the older Tivoli terminal, which still works oil, livestock, ore, breakbulk and roll-on/roll-off traffic. Combined capacity reaches around 400,000 TEU, against roughly 280,000 TEU actually handled in recent years. For forwarders the decisive factor is EU customs status: as an Irish port, Cork sits inside the single market, which simplifies clearance and transit compared with routing through Britain. Hinterland distribution runs over road and the national rail network, though most containers move onward by truck. Shippers needing larger volumes or more line services usually turn to Dublin, the country's busiest port, or to Waterford's Belview terminal.
