Our Dublin-Liverpool (Birkenhead) dedicated freight service has been operational since 15th February 2024 with cover ships serving customers temporarily whilst we have searched for a longer-term solution.
Bore Song has now entered service on the route. With capacity for almost 3,000 lane metres of freight, the ship provides significantly more space and is well suited for the demand for unaccompanied freight on this route.
With the addition of the new vessel to the Irish Sea fleet, we will now restore capacity on the Rosslare – Fishguard and Rosslare – Cherbourg routes.
Bore Song is a welcome addition to our fleet and will secure our capacity on our new unaccompanied freight route between Dublin and Liverpool. Our ships and our teams onboard have been flexible with covering the route whilst we searched for a longer-term solution, and we are delighted to have secured the new vessel to boost our freight capacity and better serve our customers on a key trading route between Ireland and Britain.
We are the largest ferry operator on the Irish Sea, with the biggest fleet providing up to 248 weekly sailings offering the widest choice of routes including combined passenger and freight services from Belfast to Cairnryan; Belfast to Liverpool (Birkenhead); Dublin to Holyhead; Rosslare to Fishguard and Rosslare to Cherbourg. We also run a dedicated freight only route from Belfast to Heysham, in addition to the new Dublin – Liverpool (Birkenhead) service.
