Following Stena Line’s announcement to withdraw from the Rosslare-Cherbourg route, in response, Iarnród Éireann, operator of Rosslare Europort, regrets the decision by the ferry company to end the route later this year.
Commenting on the decision, Glenn Carr, Director of Commercial Business Units for Iarnród Éireann at Rosslare Europort, said, “Stena Line has been and remains a valued partner of Rosslare Europort on both European and UK routes, and port management looks forward to continuing the partnership with them on the Cherbourg route over its remaining months and on an ongoing basis on the Rosslare to Fishguard route.
“We welcome the upgrading of Fishguard port infrastructure to support and develop that service further. Rosslare Europort continues to see record demand and volumes overall, up 14% in freight volume and up 10% in passenger numbers in 2025 year-to-date, over a previous record year in 2024. The frequency of direct European sailings has increased from six weekly pre-Brexit to up to 36 weekly today, with a range of operators and partner ports offering choice and flexibility to port customers.
