A MAN whose father was one of the main movers behind the first Swansea-Cork ferry link is hoping to resurrect the service and use its former name, the B&I (British & Irish) Line.

THE Port of Cork, together with Associated British Ports, have agreed a joint package of incentives that will be presented to leading ferry operators in the hope of re-establishing the Cork-Swansea link.

TWO meetings took place yesterday and though they are not directly connected each will have an impact on our economy, albeit at different levels.

AN important meeting is set to take place next month between the Port of Cork and Associated British Ports aimed at getting the Swansea-Cork ferry up and running again.
