#Ports&Shipping - Reorganisation of French sea ports is underway writes The Irish Times, to manage additional freight traffic from Ireland and segregate it from UK freight arriving after Brexit, French transport minister Elisabeth Borne has said.
She was speaking at the signing of an agreement between the Irish and French ports’ associations in Dublin Port to look at increasing capacity on existing sea routes between Ireland and France and consider new routes if there are restrictions on the UK landbridge after Britain quits the European Union in March.
Ms Borne gave assurances that traffic flows coming from Ireland “cannot be penalised by additional checks” that could come into force after the UK’s departure from the EU.
“Whatever happens, we want to be ready whatever situation we face in March of next year,” said Ms Borne after the associations signed a memorandum of understanding at Dublin Port’s head office.
