Calls to back return of Swansea Cork Ferry
Date: 09 Oct 2007 00:00 Source: thisissouthwales.co.ukTourism leaders in Swansea are being urged to help bring back the Cork ferry.They are being urged to write letters supporting the reintroduction of the service to help persuade money men to back the scheme.
Swansea-Cork Ferries pulled the plug on its service last year, selling off its MV Superferry, which is now operating in the Aegean.
In three years, the ferry took 285,250 people and 108,000 cars from Swansea to Cork.
Since that stopped, Cork has suffered a 30 per cent drop in tourism trade.
Captain Michael McCarthy, commercial manager of the Port of Cork, said he was hopeful a replacement would be found within weeks. "We are working with Swansea-Cork Ferries, but also other operators interested in the route."
Captain McCarthy added he had spoken to potential operating firms. "They have identified a suitable vessel and now need letters of support to assure the financial institutions."
