Big boost for Port of Cork as Euro ferry group looks to double ‘Brexit Buster’ sailings

From January, a four-times a week service will link Cork direct to Belgium and Holland.

“One of the world’s biggest cargo and passenger ferry operators has identified Cork as a ‘best option’ for connecting southern Ireland to Europe as Brexit continues to change international trade.

Grimaldi Lines started a new twice-weekly Ro-Ro (container lorry) service on the EUROCARGO BARI from Cork to Antwerp/Zeebrugge in the summer.

Now the giant ferry group plans to launch another new service in January – adding a second ship and doubling the sailings between Cork, Antwerp in Belgium and Zeebrugge to four a week…………”.

“The EUROCARGO BARI, one of the biggest ro-ro ships connecting the continent with Ireland, left Ringaskiddy this morning.

It now looks likely that she will have a second, Grimaldi Lines sister ship sailing out of Cork from the new year…………….”.
