€500k Sought to Restart Cork-Swansea Ferry Link

#FERRY NEWS - Approximately €500,000 is to be sought from three local authorities in the south-west region so to help restart the Cork-Swansea route which was served by the M.V. Julia (1982/22,161grt) until sailings ceased in November last year.

Representatives from Fastnet Line Ship Holdings Ltd are expected to attend a special meeting of Cork County Council next Monday at which they will outline a business plan for the company, which is in examinership.

They will also address a scheduled meeting of Cork City Council later the same day and are expected to communicate their request to Kerry County Council shortly.

    After some 25 years my wife and I have given up our annual holiday in the Algarve and gone instead to her home town of Kenmare. As we need a car in Ireland there is no better route for us than the Swansea-Cork crossing. For the six years this route was closed we had to use the Rosslare crossing which was very inconvenient. To make matters worse we missed ferries three times as we miscalculated the driving times between Kenmare and Rosslare. We are now in our 70s and hope that this route will not close.
