Irish Ferries to begin new service between Dover and Calais

The Isle of Inishmore will operate on the new Dover to Calais route.

Irish Ferries is to begin a new ferry route between Dover and Calais with the aim of providing a single operator providing a service from Dublin to Holyhead and Rosslare to Pembroke and then onwards to the continent from Dover to Calais.

A subsidiary of Irish Continental Group plc (ICG), Irish Ferries said the service is planned to start in June with the transfer of the Isle of Inishmore to the route. Additional capacity will be added in the coming months.
