Dublin Port Company has published its port infrastructure charges for 2026–2030, confirming changes to pricing and the introduction of a new infrastructure levy to support ongoing investment under Masterplan 2040.
The Port is currently operating close to capacity, with significant capital investment required to expand capacity and improve resilience. Rising construction costs, inflation and increased project scope have driven the need for revised charges from 2026.
Key changes include:
- A minimum 5% annual increase on tonnage dues and most goods types
- A reduced 2% increase for accompanied trailers
- A new infrastructure levy applied across multiple modes
- No levy on unladen containers
- Reduced levies for construction materials, animal feed and green energy
Following industry consultation, implementation of the 2026 charges has been deferred to 1 March 2026, with future annual increases planned from 1 January.
Woodland Group is reviewing the updated pricing framework and assessing potential impacts across supply chains. Our teams are available to discuss what these changes may mean for your shipments and future planning.
