NEW PORT OF GALWAY
TOBIN SERVICES:
Galway Harbour Company has for some years, been developing proposals for a New Port of Galway to
address severe constraints to their operations within the existing harbour, resulting from:
Severely restricted access,
Operations in a City Centre area,
Tidal and gated inner harbour,
Uneconomic vessel size capacity,
Channel too shallow,
Port draught and dimensions too limiting,
Inadequate quay length and limited berthage.
The New Port development will address all of the above constraints and provide improved infrastructure
to consolidate existing business, develop new business and services,provide for the international cruise
liner business and facilitate the economic growth of the region. TOBIN Consulting Engineers was
appointed as Lead Engineering Consultants to examine the feasibility of developing the harbour into a
state of the art facility which will address the existing constraints and allow the harbour to capitalise on
its full potential
