Shannon Foynes Port Company

Shannon Foynes Port Company Shannon Foynes Port is Irelands largest bulk port and second largest port overall after Dublin Port.

We are one of Irelands three Tier one ports of international significance and also a Trans-European Transport network core corridor port on two corridors, the Atlantic corridor and NorthSea/Mediterranean corridor. We are a commercial semi-state company owned by the Irish Government and are the statutory authority for the 500 Sq. KM Shannon Estuary, which is Irelands deepest port with channel depts

of 32m and we regularly receive cape size vessels, with panamax and post panamax on an almost daily basis. We have no congestion issues and a considerable land bank at our disposal. We have a large ambition in relation to offshore renewable energy and to be an Intermodal transhipment hub port and feel the best way to achieve this is by collaboration. There is no other port in Europe with the same scale, potential and capabilities as the Shannon Estuary to play the leading role in green hydrogen and green fuel production in the coming years.

The ​dust ​has now settled on our COMPASS ​Schools Competition ​and ​what a day it ​was for students of the ​five schools ​that ​made it ​to ​this year's ​final.

Our ​theme, 'Connecting our Future', was all ​about ​how Shannon Foynes Port ​and the Shannon Estuary ​will ​play ​such a ​key role ​in the ​future ​of this region and ​further beyond ​as it strengthens our national logistics supply chain and becomes ​a leading international renewable ​energy ​hub ​for harvesting our ​limitless ​wind ​energy off the Atlantic seaboard.

Congrats to all ​the students who ​participated, from

Coláiste ​Chiaráin, Croom (Winners)
Laurel Hill Secondary ​School
Salesian College, ​Pallaskenry
Coláiste ​Íde & Iosef
St. Joseph's ​Secondary School, Spanish ​Point

and, of course, ​to the winners, ​Coláiste ​Chiaráin, Croom, Co. ​Limerick, whose winning ​film "Sorry ​to Interrupt" and presentation won them ​a €5,000 ​cheque ​for their ​school, an iPad ​for each ​student and sailing experience with ​ Yacht ​Club.

It ​was a day that had it ​all ​- ​a packed ​house ​at the Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime ​Museum, brilliant film ​making, compelling ​presentations, imaginative costumes, great props (including a ​week old calf!!!) ​and ​a soundtrack ​form Coláiste ​Chiaráin, which we felt would be a fitting ​backdrop for our ​recap ​video.

Well done everyone!
