€7.8m ship to service Cork-Swansea route will dock on city’s quays

THE people of Cork will get a chance to see the new ferry which will operate the Swansea route when she docks on the city quays on Friday.

The €7.8 million MV Julia arrived in Swansea yesterday where she was greeted by a number of local dignitaries.

Irish members of the cooperative which purchased the ferry will fly out to Swansea tomorrow where they will hold a fundraising and awareness meeting at which it is hoped to attract even more Welsh investors to get involved with the company which will operate it, the Fastnet Line.
