Weekday ferry service scrapped

The service, between Greenore in Co. Louth and Greencastle in Co. Down will operate weekend and holiday period sailings only from Monday 28th September to Friday 26th March 2021.

The cross-border ferry service was launched in June 2017 following a ten million euro investment and operates a roll-on roll-off service across Carlingford Lough.

While the service has seen consistent growth in traffic during the Spring/Summer seasons, the mid-week wintertime service has not delivered sufficient traffic volumes. The company believes that the uncertainties created by Brexit has had a significant impact.

Commercial Director, Irene Hamilton said, “We greatly regret the disruption that this will cause to our commuter customers who have supported our business.”
