A state-of-the-art passenger check-in facility has opened at Rosslare Europort, set to revolutionise passenger experience and create a seamless transition from land to sea for port users, signifying the latest milestone achieved for the port in the delivery of its ambitious masterplan.
Part of the largest ever investment in the history of Rosslare Europort, this brand-new passenger vehicle check in facility includes;
- over 14,000m2 of new queueing lanes
- new passenger rest and recreation facilities
- new passenger information systems
- a smarter and more efficient check in experience with the new smart port system
- a first-class customer experience for port users
The opening of the new passenger vehicle check-in facility comes only a few weeks after the opening of a new Freight Check-in area at Rosslare Europort which has streamlined freight movement around and through the Port, saving time and congestion in and around the Port.
With a quick and seamless port experience now offered for both freight and passenger vehicle port users, Rosslare Europort is well on track to continue its recent expansion and realise the goals outlined in the port Masterplan.
In addition to delivering the streamlined freight and passenger check in facilities at the Port:
- Works are continuing at pace on construction of the new Terminal 7 infrastructure, the new permanent border control post being delivered at the port in partnership with the Office of Public Works. These works are set for completion in late 2025.
- Project designs are being finalised for Rosslare Europort’s Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Hub with a view to planning being lodged with An Bord Pleanála before the end of this year. Subject to planning being granted and funding being allocated, it is expected that construction will commence in late 2025/early 2026.
