The facilities comprise 480 metres of berths for container ships, with a depth of nine to eleven metres and is equipped with three modern Liebherr gantry cranes (40 tonne capacity) and ten rubber-tyred gantries (40 tonne capacity) on a strategically located site within three kilometres of Dublin city centre and within one kilometre of the Dublin Port Tunnel, providing direct access to Ireland’s motorway network. DFT now operates four electrically operated rubber-tyred gantries incorporating the latest technologies to allow for remote operation. Following the successful deployment of these enviromentally friendly electric rubber-tyred gantries, DFT placed an order for an additional five of these cranes which will be delivered in the second half of 2022.
