The ESB and the Port of Dublin The Port of Dublin has a great need for electricity ... to provide power for its services ... for its factories ... for its people.
bbBBOO Since 1964, the demand for electricity in the area has more than doubled ... a clear indication of the progress which has been made and the development which has taken place. The E.S.B. is a vital part of the Port of Dublin. The powerstations at Ringsend, Poolbeg and North Wall provide the 130 million units a year required in the Port area. The annual dues paid by the E.S.B. — amounting to £85,000 last year — contribute substantially to the Port revenues and the E.S.B. staffs — over 600 people are a vital part of the Port's people. The Poolbeg — the newest station on the E.S.B. system — will be extended to meet the national growth in demand for power and will make a further contribution to the prosperity of the Port and its people.

Our Container Cranes work i any Container Crane shouM right into your pocket. Right from the start of construction — no costly foundations are necessary because of the cranes’ low, corner wheel-loads. The crane sections are bolted and pinned and not welded. This reduces the time taken for erection. Therefore^ they may be dismantled and erected at any time and place during operation—because they are transit and terminal cranes. When we now tell you that our cranes are lowes' in investment costs, you will ash yourself, ‘why have I not yet got one?*

Port of Dublin Year Book, 1975 — 11
The History of the Port of Dublin The estuary of the River Liffey has been associated with the commerce of this island for very many centuries, and there is evidence that over 3,500 years ago gold and copper from the Wicklow Mountains were shipped to Britain and the Continent from landing places in Dublin Bay. The development of shipping down the centuries brought problems in its train for the merchants and traders of Dublin whose ships required deeper water and better landing facil ities than those which sufficed for the early traders. The difficulties were aggravated by the increasing danger to shipping using the estuary as a result of continuous silting and shoaling in the approaches. At the end of the 17th century there was no well-defined channel leading up to the city; instead the waters of the Liffey divided into various channels and mingled with those of the Dodder and the Tolka and the action of wind and tide set up ever-changing bars and shoals, forming a serious hindrance to the navigation of the river.
The only berthage at that time was at Merchant's Quay and Wood Quay. Access by shipp ing further westwards was impeded by the only bridge across the river at that time which connected Church Street on the North bank with Bridge Street on the South. It was the practice of the City Corporation to make grants or leases of portions of the river bank on the condition that the grantees or lessees built and maintained quay walls. Such persons in turn exacted compensation from shipping using the quay walls for the purpose of mooring and landing goods thereon. In 1708 a Committee of the Dublin Corporation was entrusted by Parliament with the res ponsibility of establishing a Ballast Qffice, and the duty of maintaining and developing the Port was vested in this Committee. The Committee (which was known as the Ballast Board) with the object of containing the river in a well-defined deep channel had, by 1786, construc ted a large portion of the Great South Wall which runs from a point west of where Q'Connell Bridge now stands to the Poolbeg Lighthouse, a distance of about 572 miles. The Ballast Board was succeeded in 1786 by the Corporation for Preserving and Improving the Port of Dublin and this Corporation functioned until 1867. The works carried out by this Corporation included the completion of the Great South Wall, and the construction of what is known as the North Bull Wall so as to impound a greater volume of water at high tide. As the tide recedes this water flows out between the Poolbeg Lighthouse and the North Bull Lighthouse, scouring a passage through the bar. This scour cut its own channel and the depth of water on the bar was increased thereby over the years from 6 to 16 feet. Other works carried out were the build ing of the North and South Quays, and of the old Graving Dock and the Graving Slips.
From 1810 the Corporation became responsible for the erection and maintenance of all lighthouses on the coasts of Ireland, but in 1867 this responsibility was transferred by Act of Parliament to a new body which was given the title of "Commissioners of Irish Lights", while the Dublin Harbour Authority was reconstituted as the Dublin Port and Docks Board. Under the new Board the North and South Quays were rebuilt with deeper foundations; this provided greater depths of water alongside, so as to allow vessels to lie afloat at low water, and by 1913 all the old quays, with the exception of Custom House Quay, had been replaced Port of Dublin Year Book, 1975 - 13
or reconstructed. In addition to the work of reconstruction, the Port Board was fully aware of the need to extend and expand accommodation for the rapidly increasing size of vessels using the Port, and the construction of the North Wall Extension between 1871 and 1884 provided berthage for overseas vessels with a depth of 23ft to 26 ft on its northern side. The construction of Alexandra Quay between 1922 and 1935, and subsequently of the Ocean Pier, has with the North Wall Extension provided a deepwater tidal basin known as Alexandra Basin with 5,000 feet of berthage ranging from 23ft to 32ft at low water. The 1950's saw the completion of Alexandra Quay East, Alexandra Basin East and the Oil Jetties. No 2 Graving Dock was completed and became operational in 1957. The Fertiliser Jetty in Alexandra Basin received its first ship in 1968, as did the Car Ferry Terminal (RO/ RO Terminal No. 1). With the move to containerisation in the 1960's, it became necessary to provide purposebuilt container terminals with adequate back-up land and facilities. To meet these demands land was reclaimed and berths provided for three new terminals. The Bristol Seaway Terminal began operations in 1969; the British Rail Terminal in 1970 and the B + I Terminal in 1972. A jetty, capable of accepting tankers of up to 35, 000 tons, which serves the Electricity Supply Board's Poolbeg Generating Station was completed in 1969 and received its first ship in 1970. The 680ft high smoke stack serving this generating station was completed in 1970 and has become a landmark in the Port area. In common with other Harbour Authorities in the State, the Board was reconstituted under the Harbours Act, 1946, as follows: Five members elected by the Corporation of Dublin; four members apfrainted by the Dublin Chambetof Commerce, two members appointed by The National Executive of the Irish Livestock Trade; two members appointed by the Confereration of Irish Industries; two members appointed by the Dublin Council of Trade Unions; four members elected by owners of vessels registered in the State; four members nominated by the Minister for Transport and Power. Members normally hold office for 5 years; the present Board's term of office expires in Qctober, 1979. The Chairman is elected at the Annual Meeting which normally takes place in Qctober each year and he holds office for twelve months, unless re-elected. 14 - Port of Dublin Year Book, 1975

PORT OF DUBLIN
Dublin is the capita! city of Ireland. It is situated on the River Liffey, 11 kilometres from the Irish Sea. Latitude 53° 21' N. Longtitude 6° 16' W. Population of Greater Dublin, 849,542 (1971 Census).
Port Authority Dublin Port and Docks Board (under Harbours Act, 1946, and earlier Acts).
Limits of the Port of Dublin The Port of Dublin includes all the water between Rory O'More Bridge (over the River Liffey) and an imaginary line drawn from the Martello Tower at Sutton on the North Side of Dublin Bay to Sorrento Point at Dalkey on the South Side, but excluding Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
PilotageThe Dublin Port and Docks Board is also the Pilotage Authority for the Dublin Pilotage Dis trict. The limits of the Compulsory Pilotage District are the waters of the River Liffey below Butt Bridge and so much of the sea westward of the sixth meridian west longtitude as lies be tween the parallels of latitude passing through the Baily Lighthouse on the North and through Sorrento Point on the South, including all bays, creeks and harbours and all tidal and closed docks within such area. The Pilotage service is based on a pilot shore station situated on the Eastern Breakwater and operated by direct boarding cutters each about 15 metres long. The Harbour Office, Pilot Shore Station and Pilot Cutters are equipped with VHF/FIVI radio, Hague Channels 16, 12 and 6.
Towage To cater for large ocean-going vessels using the Port, the Board has provided three modern diesel tugs: two conventional tugs fitted with Kort Rudders and one tug with twin Voith Schneider prop>ellers. They are equipped with VHF/FM radio, Hague Channels 16, 12 and 6 and with modern fire pumps.
Tides Mean H.W. Springs Dublin Bar, 3.9 metres. Mean H.W. Neaps, 3.1 metres. Prevailing winds are S.W. to N.W. Port of Dublin Year Book, 1975 —21
ANCHORAGE It is the general practice to use Scotch Bay, just east of Dun Laoghaire, about 11 kilometres from the Quays of Dublin. Depth at L.W. 11 to 18 metres.
Verification of Depths All Berth Channel and Bar depths given hereunder are standard low water maintenance depths, which are liable to reduction through silting or other causes. Verification of depths in the Port should, therefore be obtained from the Harbour Master's Office, North Wall, Dublin 1.
Entrance and Depths The approach to the Harbour of Dublin is well lighted and easy of access. There is a channel across the Bar at M.L.W.S. of 7.92 metres.
At present, vessels can enter the Port on various tides as hereunder; Drawing 10.06 metres on H.W. of Neap Tides. Drawing 10.36 metres on H.W. of Normal Tides. Drawing 10.82 metres on H.W. of Spring Tides. The inner Channel of the Harbour, formed by the almost straight channel of the River Liffey from the entrance at Poolbeg Lighthouse to Alexandra Basin is 215 metres wide for the greater part of its length and is maintained at a depth of 7.92 metres at L.W. From the Alexandra Basin entrance, the River is quayed for a distance of nearly 3.22 kilometres to Butt Bridge in the centre of the City.

emember the story of the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice!’ How the apprentice was asked by the sorcerer to bring some water. And how, behind the sorcerer’s back the apprentice used the sorcerer’s wand to command the broom to do the fetching. Trouble was the broom just kept on bringing more and more water. An Bord Bainne’s spell is working the same way. Starting out as a semi-state body, it was commanded to magic our green into very valuable export gold. An Bord Bainne studied the modern marketing potions, memorised the right spells. Result; sales just kept growing and growing. Today, An Bord Bainne is a co-operative. Out on its own! In the U.K., An Bord Bainne, through its subsidiary Adam’s Foods Ltd., boasts a turnover of £50 million. Sales this year worldwide will total £150 million making the dairy industry one of Ireland’s biggest e>qDorters. By 1980 they expect to boost sales by another £100 million!

MERCEDES-BENZ TRUCKS ION HUES AHEAD OF1HE REST
Low fuel consumption — an important factor in maximum operating economy — has always been a feature of Mercedes-Benz trucks, thanks to their superbly efficient engines. Outstanding reliability keeps these trucks constantly on the road. And when servicing is needed, there is a world wide network of Mercedes-Benz dealers
to give them fast, expert attention. With today’s escalating operating costs, the choice of a truck has never been more important. All the more reason why the right choice is Mercedes-Benz.
