Hauliers across the Irish Sea advocate for the retention of a newly implemented staggered ferry schedule, which emerged as a temporary solution post-Storm Darragh. The Irish Road Haulage Association and the UK's Road Haulage Association have jointly expressed their desire for this schedule to remain in place, citing improved efficiency, reduced congestion on roads like Dublin's M50, and increased competition among ferry services. The staggered timetable, resulting from repairs necessary after storm damage, facilitates more frequent sailings while allowing both ferry operators to maintain service until repairs conclude in July 2025.
Hauliers argue that the new staggered ferry schedule enhances efficiency, fosters competition, and reduces congestion, ensuring a more effective transport network across the Irish Sea.
The joint letter from the haulage associations emphasizes the importance of maintaining the new schedule for competitive, efficient transport connectivity while being environmentally responsible.
