ice plants

are uneconomic and demand for ice has gone down hugely in recent years. We have an ice plant here in Killybegs but the smallest amount of ice going out of any plant in Ireland is going out of here because all the vessels have installed their own ice making facilities on board.

    It's a huge ice cube. How do they get it out of the building with no windows?

    God bless.

    My brother worked for a company that serviced ice makers in restaurants. Without ice, restaurants really go into panic mode!
    Wishing you a nice day.

    There is one in my area. At a little ferry port, but I don't think it is still in operation.

    You have captured the cold, loneliness of this place Bill💮

    ...In Maui ice is important for the many small fishermen.

    Looks like a tired, dated building. A little sad.

    My dad, way back, was a calculator mechanic. Thought he'd have a career for life.

    Interesting. I wondered why there was an ice making plant.

    There would be plenty of market for ice here in the desert.

    We could do with some ice here right now as it's 32 degrees C outside today.

    There was an ice plant by the harbour where I live but it’s been gone for years. Like the dinosaurs.

    I live in Las Vegas and it's 106F here today. I could go for some ice right now.

    That is something that I have never thought about! It makes sense to have their own equipment.

    It's becoming a sign of changing times, isn't it?

    Interesting post and however that plant is a good memory of the past. Sorry for the company and the workers.

    Is the ice for the boats to keep their catch cold?
