A Welsh Affairs Committee last Thursday heard that it would make logistic and economic sense for Pembrokeshire to operate one ferry port, possibly being served by two companies, with back-to-back sailings to Rosslare.

"A lot of the ferry company customers would like to see a one port solution where you get two ferry operators but operating a back-to-back timetable," he said. "That would be the utopia because you'd have a six-hour frequency," Stena Line's head of UK port authorities, Ian Davies, told the committee.

"Logic yes would say it would make more sense from a logistics point of view and an economic point of view to have one strong ferry port with frequency of service. Obviously at Fishguard Port we would say that should be Fishguard because it's the shorter ferry crossing."

In the same week Glenn Carr, general manager at Rosslare Europort in Ireland, said that having a consolidated ferry service to and from one Pembrokeshire port could encourage hauliers back into using the ports and the land bridge.

For much more, The Western Telegraph has the story.

In addition BBC News reported that Stena Line said it remains 'committed to Wales' with its ports and ferry routes and despite a drop in traffic due to Brexit and Covid-19.
