UK's Most Westerly Port (Foyle Port) Entices Data Center Investment

Foyle Port, the adopted name for Londonderry Port in Northern Ireland, which has a deepwater facility and is the UK's most westerly port, has granted planning permission for a new data center to create hundreds of jobs. This will be constructed by Atlantic Hub (Director: Brian Doherty), funded largely by Di-squared (Digital Infrastructure Investment) who invest in data centers, recovery sites and mobile network towers across Europe ("data infrastructure as an asset class"). Paul Clancy, head of Londonderry Chamber of Commerce, described the investment as "transformative".
