The south-west port of Bantry Bay has not been included in the Port of Cork's major new masterplan, the company confirmed last week.

According to the Southern Star, the Port of Cork Company (PoCC) is planning to share the emerging concepts of the ‘Port Masterplan 2050’ in a series of consultation meetings.

Afloat adds these meetings have taken place in Ringaskiddy, Cork and most recently in Cobh (see related story: By 2030 Port of Cork to vacate city centre).

The port area of Bantry Bay Port Company, which comes under the auspices of PoCC, is however not included in the 'Port Masterplan 2050'

The Masterplan will allow the company to adapt to a shifting landscape in port operations and plan its development as a key global port of the future.

For more on this the newspaper reports.

In addition to a story on a joint venture project (announced in 2021) to build on Whiddy Island a green energy plant.
