Det italienske rederi Grimaldi Lines, vil fra starten af maj, åbne en ny fragtrute mellem Antwerpen (Belgien) og Cork (Irland). Ruten vil blive betjent af RoRo færgen EUROCARGO BARI, som vil sejle 2 dobbeltture om ugen. Planen er dog at øge både frekvensen og kapaciteten indenfor en overskuelig fremtid.
“This is certainly a pivotal moment for Irish importers and exporters as they are forced to realign their supply chains to a more Euro-centric model. We have, therefore, decided to further strengthen our commitment to the Irish economy and respond to the needs of our customers by expanding our business in the country and upgrading our transport services. This maritime connection between our Antwerp hub and the port of Cork will represent a highly competitive and more environmentally friendly alternative to the UK Land Bridge.”
Emanuele Grimaldi, Grimaldi Group Managing Director.
