Time running out on Swansea ferry link for summer

TIME is running out on the re-establishment of a proposed ferry link between Cork and Swansea for next summer’s season.

The loss of the service to the south-west region, in the season just past, was estimated at €35 million.

The Port of Cork’s marketing manager Captain Michael McCarthy confirmed yesterday it was “a cause of concern” that potential operators have not yet indicated that a service will be operating in 2008.
