Bremore Port
Bremore Ireland Port is a public-private joint venture company between Drogheda Port Company and Ronan Group Real Estate. They are developing a world class deepwater multi modal energy port on the most advantageous site on Ireland’s east coast.
The project will add significant port and port logistics capacity consistent with national ports policy, and includes the provision of facilities for green hydrogen and offshore wind turbine storage\assembly.
This will be a new distribution node in the Greater Dublin Area located between Balbriggan and Drogheda on the M1 economic corridor. It will contribute to National and European climate objectives of transport decarbonisation, generation and servicing of renewable energy and will support region related social and economic activity:
- Direct Link to M1 motorway
- Direct link to Dublin-Belfast rail line
- Core port on the EU Ten-T network
- Fully integrated supply chain
- Ireland's first energy port — wind energy to green hydrogen
- Green Port
- Fit for 55
Bremore Ireland Port is positioned on both the Dublin to Belfast motorway and rail line. The first phase will be prioritised for offshore wind turbine lay down and assembly. Essential to the port logistics proposal is a complementary energy hub with capacity to generate green hydrogen and its potential green fuel derivatives. This greenfield development will contribute significantly to decarbonisation of heavy goods and marine transport in Ireland.
The Bremore development is a project on the EU Core Network – Greater Dublin Area Port Cluster - and was added to the national port planning landscape as Government policy in December 2021.
During 2023/2024 the project team, which includes marine and landside design engineers; planning consultants; environmental, and ecological and heritage specialists, is preparing the necessary material for a planning application in 2025/2026, including a public consultation process, and substantive discussions with port users and other stakeholders.
The Project will consist of four core developments:
