Port suffers second blow

AFTER a court case which is reputed to have cost Shannon Foynes Port Company several million euro to settle, the body has suffered another financial blow with the loss of a shipping customer at Foynes.

Xpress Container Line has cancelled its weekly container service between Foynes and Rotterdam.

The service was initiated by former chief executive Brian Byrne who recently settled a High Court action after he was suspended by the company.
