Cork Loses Out To Rosslare As Brittany Ferries Moves It's Departure Port For It's Ireland-Spain Route
The Port of Cork has described the decision as "surprising" and very disappointing
In a statement issued to RedFM News in the past few minutes Brittany Ferries says it is maintaining it's commitment to the route but has confirmed that Rosslare-Bilbao will replace the Cork-Santander as a key freight route to Europe from the 28th of February
The Santander route out of Cork which was launched in 2018 was primarily aimed at the freight market into Europe although it also carried holidaymakers, with an ‘économie’ no-frills onboard experience.
The new route out of Rosslare will again concentrate on freight with an option for holidaymakers.
