Drogheda Port handled for the first time its 500,000 teu container in October 2007. The port currently operates regular container services to Rotterdam and Oslo from its Tom Roes Point facility, one of the most efficient and congestion free unitised terminals in the country.

The 500,000 milestone container was carrying nuts and dried fruits from Holland for a local company and was welcomed ashore by the port chairman Mr Patrick Traynor and the general manager of Europe Lines Mr Cameron McIntyre.

Due to its success the current terminal is currently operating at close to capacity but the port company is in the process of developing a new deepsea unitised terminal at Bremore within the greater Dublin area. The new terminal, one of the largest port infrastructural projects ever undertaken in Ireland, will have an annual capacity of 400,000 Ro-Ro units and 350,000teu Lo-Lo units. The new terminal is expected to be operational in 2012.
