Rosslare Europort has warmly welcomed the decision by Brittany Ferries to more than double its weekly services between Rosslare and Cherbourg, with the service expansion beginning next Monday, November 4th.
During November, Brittany Ferries will operate four services in each way between Rosslare Europort and Cherbourg in Normandy, up from two each way currently. The service will then increase further to five each way at the end of the month.
The expansion of the Brittany Ferries service comes hot on the heels of the opening in recent weeks of Rosslare Europort’s new freight check-in and passenger vehicle check-in facilities, offering a quick and seamless port experience for freight and passenger vehicle customers of the port.
Welcoming the service expansion by Brittany Ferries at Rosslare Europort, Glenn Carr, Director Commercial Business Units for Iarnród Éireann – Port Authority for Rosslare Europort – said “the success of our partnership with Brittany Ferries goes from strength to strength with Brittany Ferries announcement that it will more than double services on the Rosslare Europort/Cherbourg route. Freight and passenger customers on Brittany Ferries’ expanded service offering will also benefit from the unprecedented developments at Rosslare Europort. Our new freight and passenger check-in facilities have opened, supported by our new state of the art SmartPort system; while the port environment is being transformed through our Masterplan investment and the T7 Border Control Post development in partnership with the Office of Public Works.”
