PART I | 1. FOREWORD HARBOUR MASTER SHANNON ESTUARY 1.1 GENERAL Welcome As Harbour Master with Shannon Foynes Port Company, it gives me great pleasure in welcoming you to the Shannon Estuary. The Shannon Estuary is Ireland’s largest portal area, extending from our facilities in Limerick City to the seaward limits between Loop Head and Kerry Head, a distance of some 100 km. In addition, the Shannon Estuary is Ireland’s premier deepwater facility, routinely handling Capesize and Panamax shipping. The Port There are six main facilities located within the Estuary. Shannon Foynes Port Company facilities are located at Foynes, Limerick City (Ted Russell Dock) and Shannon Airport Aviation Jetty. The Company is also responsible for privately owned facilities located at Moneypoint, Aughinish and Tarbert. The Port handles approximately 1000 ships per annum, with tonnages averaging 12m tonnes p.a. Marine Operations The Marine Operations Department is responsible for the safety and security of all commercial shipping on the Estuary. Functions conducted by the Department include Pilotage, Tug requirements, Berthing/Unberthing, as well as co-ordinating immobilisations, repairs and hazardous cargo movements. The department also monitors the navigational aids architecture within the Estuary, and conducts hydrographic surveying duties to ensure the safety and integrity of berths and approaches. Performance Measurement Shannon Foynes Port Company is an accredited ISO Port. KPIs from a Marine Operations perspective include berth occupancy, delays, berth allocation and soundings. A comprehensive series of Risk Assessments have been conducted for all port evolutions. Customer complaints are treated with the utmost seriousness. In addition, the Port is committed to enhancing environmental and safety standards, currently seeking both OHSAS 18001 and PERS (Port Environmental Review System) accreditation. Emergencies Shannon Foynes Port Company has invested considerable resources into the development of a series of emergency response plans, including plans for marine emergencies, pollution emergencies and facilities emergencies. In addition, SFPC is a major stakeholder in SEA-PT (Shannon Estuary Anti-Pollution Team), maintaining an extensive stock of pollution response equipment, and conducting regular exercises with Emergency Services and Local Authorities. Future Development Shannon Foynes Port Company is currently developing a Strategic Masterplan (Vision 2041), involving consultation with a wide array of stakeholders. SFPC is committed towards continuous improvement and development, including both existing facilities and potential new facilities. We hope that you have a safe and pleasant visit to our Port. We welcome any feedback. Forms are available on our website and may be returned electronically.
