Facilities

In managing and developing the infrastructure of its 2000 acre estate, Belfast Harbour currently provides some 8km of operational quays and wharves and has developed in excess of 2,000,000ft² of warehousing for businesses associated with various port trades. Belfast Harbour also develops and maintains the 26km network of roads throughout the Estate which link directly into the hub of Northern Ireland’s main motorway network.
Over the past 10 years Belfast Harbour has invested substantial capital sums as part of its ongoing commitment to expand port capacity in line with the needs of the economy and provide best in class facilities throughout the port.

Investment has been made in all elements of the port’s infrastructure and commercial offerings, including:

• 250m extension to Stormont Wharf costing £10m creating the longest deepwater quay in Ireland.
• £3m investment in a Gottwald Harbour Mobile crane to ensure faster loading and discharge of vessels.
• Provision of new Lo-Lo capacity in the form of Belfast Container Terminal, operated by Irish Continental Group.
• Enhancement of the port’s RoRo offering with delivery of a 31 acre modern ferry terminal at VT4, for both High Speed and Ro-Pax vessels operated by Stena.
• Purpose built warehousing facilities of over 800,000ft² for the handling of grain & animal feeds, steel, timber, and paper products.
• Construction of over 500,000ft² of modern logistics warehousing adjacent to the Port’s RoRo and LoLo terminals
• The upgrade of roads infrastructure including provision of a dual carriageway providing a seamless link between the port’s RoRo and LoLo terminals with the motorway network.
