We were delighted to welcome Department for Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd and Department for the Economy NI Minister Conor Murphy to our City Quays 3 building recently for a special briefing on Belfast Harbour’s ambitious plans to redevelop and enhance the Port’s offshore renewable energy and cruise facilities. In a joint visit, the Ministers heard from Chair Dr Theresa Donaldson and Chief Executive Joe O’Neill about our vision to make Belfast a hub for future offshore wind development on the island of Ireland, through significant investment in new infrastructure. Belfast Harbour’s Offshore Wind Terminal is currently the only facility of its type on the island for the transport and assembly of offshore wind turbines and between 2013 and 2018 delivered 66% of UK offshore wind capacity. In recent years the facility has been used as a berth for the growing number of cruise ships visiting Belfast. Our new plans would see the cruise business relocated to a new berth and an integrated solution developed which will be capable of facilitating both cruise and offshore renewable energy activity.
