ESPO congratulates Dublin Port Company (Ireland) for being certified through the EcoPorts’ environmental management standard (PERS). The Port of Dublin joined the EcoPorts’ network in 2008 and is PERS-certified for the sixth time. Isabelle Ryckbost, ESPO Secretary General, commented: “The Port of Dublin is a textbook example of a fast-growing urban port that is embracing its nature, heritage and conservation. The findings of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Environmental Report and Natura Impact Statements are integral part of the latest port Masterplan. It is very nice to see that ports like Dublin are continuously recertifying with PERS, making them long-term members of the Ecoports network”. (....)
