The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sports advises that updated templates for Port Security Plans for 2019-2024 have been made available.

The Port Facility Security Plan template should be used for ‘Article 2.4 Single Facility’ ports where an approved assessment confirms that the boundaries of the port and the facility are the same; and individual port facilities within multi-facility ports.

A separate ‘combined’ Port Security Plan template is for single facility ports where Article 2.4 of EU Directive 2005/65/EC does not apply and which includes the requirements of that directive as well as EU Regulation 725/2004/EC.

The additional ‘over-arching’ template is only intended for use by multi-facility ports.

About Arklow Shipping

Arklow Shipping Limited, one of Ireland's leading shipping companies, has marked over 50 years of operation following its establishment in 1966.

The company, which began with a fleet of seven ships, has grown steadily over the years and now boasts a fleet of 59 vessels.

The company was founded by Captains James Tyrrell, Michael Tyrrell, and Victor Hall, who collaborated to create an umbrella company to operate their ships. This move allowed them to reduce overheads and strengthen their position in the market. The original fleet comprised seven ships, namely Tyrronall, Murell, Marizell, Valzell, Kilbride, River Avoca, and Avondale, all of varying sizes.

The shipping industry in Ireland underwent a significant transformation in the 1960s, with the replacement of traditional auxiliary schooners with modern crafts.

Arklow Shipping was at the forefront of this change, and the founders recognized the need for a new approach to shipping in Ireland. They built a company that could adapt to the changing market demands, and this has been a key factor in the company's continued growth.

Over the years, Arklow Shipping has bought, sold, and built ships, facing the challenges and opportunities that come with operating in the shipping industry. Despite these challenges, the company has remained committed to meeting market demand and providing high-quality services to its clients.

Today, Arklow Shipping is a leading player in the shipping industry, with a strong reputation for reliability and professionalism. The company's success story is a testament to the vision and dedication of its founders, who laid the foundation for a company that has stood the test of time.
