Rosslare Europort in County Wexford is playing a strategic role by providing additional capacity at the port to help alleviate the issues that are currently being experienced due to the closure of Holyhead port caused by storm damage. Rosslare Europort is experiencing an increase of over 120% in freight volumes from the UK when compared to previous weeks.
Glenn Carr, Director of Commercial Business Units and Port Authority for Rosslare Europort, said: “ We are working with all stakeholders and focusing on how Rosslare Europort can once again play its part in ensuring the continuous movement of freight and passengers from the UK while the Port of Holyhead is out of commission. This is an extremely busy and critical time for our freight and tourism sectors, and we at Rosslare Europort will do all in our power to provide additional capacity and support at the port that will help address the challenges and concerns being experienced".
In addition to delivering the streamlined freight and passenger check-in facilities at the Port, Works are continuing at pace with the construction of the new Terminal 7 infrastructure; the new permanent border control post is being delivered at the port in partnership with the Office of Public Works. These works are set for completion in late 2025.
