Ireland is to witness an explosion in offshore wind farms with port companies racing to make sure the infrastructure is in place to service them

Since blockchain technology first emerged more than a decade ago, it has been touted as a unrivalled tool for change, but understanding the true potential for the breakbulk sector is a process that will likely take years to unravel. Typically, discussion of blockchain technology is dominated by the rise of bitcoin and alternative cryptocurrencies in financial markets, but in reality some of its most far-reaching consequences may be in sectors far outside of finance.

Project Logistics Control Centres (PLCC’s), what are they? How do they operate? XELLZ, a company in-the-know when it comes to using digital solutions to optimise operations, has much to share on the subject including the limitations to technology and the value of the human factor.

Dutch Ambassador Adriaan Palm visited Rosslare Europort on Friday to see for himself the plans that are being put in place in the area of offshore wind energy as well as gauging Rosslare's viability in terms of handling imports and exports post-Brexit.

Irish Rail is progressing plans to develop a Freezone Business Park at Rosslare Europort similar to internationally renowned Shannon Free Zone and business park.

In early 2020, XELLZ secured approximately 200,000 sqm of land at the port of Rosslare in the Republic of Ireland. XELLZ has now divided the land into zones and the entire area will be known as Rosslare Europort Business Park (EBP). Through its offshore services subsidiaries 24shore and XELLZ Ireland, the Dutch company aims to establish an offshore wind supply base.
