Earlier in the year I met with the Government Shipping and Ports Minister to discuss how best to support work on maximising the potential of Belfast Port. I recently visited the Port and discussed this work with the Northern Ireland Executive Minister for Regional Development and the Chairman of the Belfast Harbour Commissioners.

As set out in Building a Prosperous and United Community: One Year On, the Government will continue to support the Executive in its work on maximising the potential of Belfast Port. This will include sharing further information about the announced reforms at the Port of Dover and their implementation.
