A £40 million redevelopment of one of Scotland's busiest ferry terminals will be approved by ministers within days, one of its operators claimed yesterday.
The HSS Stena Explorer fast ferry service made a welcome return on the Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire route on Saturday 24 February. Following a refit at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast the craft has returned having received a €1.75 million (£1.17 million) refurbishment including a new seating area at the rear of the craft.
Work has begun on a new £35m Stena fast ferry terminal at the Port of Belfast and the facility is due to open for the summer 2008 season.
It has not been the best start to a new year for Portsmouth. The UK’s second busiest ferry port has suffered a major delay in the start-up of a new freight service to Cherbourg, France by Irish operator Celtic Link Ferries and a decision by Spanish operator Acciona Trasmediterranea (AT Ferries) not to resume its Bilbao service at the end of April.
Transmanche Ferries can now be booked online with directferries.co.uk.
AT Ferries are no longer running a ferry service from Portsmouth or Bilbao
A memorial service has been held to mark the 20th anniversary of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster in which 193 people died.
The HSS Stena Explorer fast ferry service has made a return to the Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire route following a £1.17m refit.
