8825 - DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ROSSLARE EUROPORT OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY (ORE) HUB

Description

Iarnród Eireann (IÉ) are seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified applicants to participate in a tender competition for the design and construction of a proposed Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Hub at Rosslare Europort. Rosslare Europort is proposing the construction of port facilities which will be capable of facilitating fixed bottom wind farm projects in the Irish and Celtic Seas. Some of the key features of the proposed development are as follows: • Approximately 20 hectares of land reclamation from the sea at the westerly side of the existing Rosslare Europort; • Heavy lift berth (250m-330m in length) for accommodating ORE installation vessels; • Second berth (~240m long) for the delivery of foundation and wind turbine components; • Capital dredging works to the main berth pockets and approach channel; • Small boat harbour for local fishing vessels, Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV’s) and associated quayside facilities.
