Dublin Port has been galvanised over the last 12 years by Masterplan 2040, this set out a vision for future operations and development at the Port and critically examined how the existing land use can be optimised for trade purposes. Our Masterplan, which had been prepared following extensive engagement with stakeholders, outlined how Dublin Port will work to better integrate the Port with the City and people of Dublin while continuing to be Ireland’s largest Port, providing a gateway to the world.
Vision and Masterplan 2040
The Masterplan vision set out a bold and ambitious view of where the Port will be in 2040: “The vision is that within ten years, we will have transformed Dublin Port into a highly land efficient port, an attractive destination in its own right and permeable to the people of Dublin to enjoy and experience the port’s heritage in all its diversity from the natural environment to arts, to local history”.
Importance of Societal Integration of Ports
Dublin Port shares a unique connection with the city of Dublin. It is a bond that is not just physical – it’s a shared history, culture and community between the port and our capital city.
To strengthen, continue and encourage this connection Dublin Port has commissioned a series of cultural and heritage initiatives, designed to present Dublin’s rich maritime heritage in new and thought-provoking ways. These recognise the importance of Dublin Port and its integration with the city and celebrate this unique connection.
Distributed Museum
The ‘Distributed Museum’ is the working title of an initiative by Dublin Port Company to promote awareness and public engagement with physical elements of Port heritage and amenity assets of the Port.
