Stenaline has said that the majority of freight has successfully accessed their ports in Ireland and the UK on the first day post-Brexit.

In a statement, the company said that present freight volumes are markedly down on pre-Christmas/Brexit stockpiling levels so it was too soon to reach any conclusions about the impact.
