Your premier solution
MTL has the flexibility, resource and equipment to ensure a safe and efficient turnaround of vessels. Further to this, MTL has the deepest draft and longest quay wall for container vessels arriving at Dublin Port.
Geography, determination and Irish resourcefulness have all contributed to make MTL the country’s premier container terminal, which handles an average throughput of 170,000 TEUs every year. We handle almost a third of Dublin’s containerised goods and nearly one in five of the entire country’s containers.
MTL regularly handles over 1000 container movements per day without delays, ensuring our customers goods reach their point of consumption in a timely fashion. Throughput at MTL shows continual growth as we both welcome new customers and witness the volumes increase for our existing users of the port.
We also own and operate Dublin Containers & Transport Services Ltd (DCATS), which provides a fast, efficient maintenance, repair and depot management solutions for our customers including everything from container repairs, onsite depot work and reefer storage. DCATS has the added value of location as the depot is on our port estate adjacent to the container terminal, resulting in competitive shunting rates.
