Tralee Harbour Seeks 200-berth Expansion

Tralee and Fenit Harbour Commissioners are hoping they won't be all at sea over their application to build a new, 210-berth marina expansion in Co Kerry.

The detailed plans were submitted to Kerry County Council by the Commissioners in mid February for the proposed marina expansion at Fenit Harbour, Tralee.

It aims to expand and develop the project at Fenit Harbour to include the relocation and extension of the existing rubble mound break water eastwards of its current location, provision of a new 210 berth marina expansion with associated marina infrastructure, and installation of a new sheet pile break water within the harbour.


According to the website, unearthore.com, permission is sought for the infilling and reclamation adjacent to the northern leg of the existing break water to form infrastructure for future harbour developments.

Additional car parking, oyster training bays, new boat lift, expansion of the existing commercial berth, upgrading of the existing site services to compliment proposed development and capital dredging works are also involved.

The developers said that an Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared with this application, which is being co-ordianted by the Architect, Malachy Walsh and Partners.
