Fastnet Line Swansea Cork Ferry

Posted by: admin in Fastnet Line, Ferry News, Routes

The new Fastnet line Swansea to Cork ferry will begin on St David’s Day 2010.

It was hoped a new ship would run the route between Wales and the Irish Republic earlier than 2010 but the co-operative aiming to restart the service says it will not run until early next year now.
The delay has been blamed on the lengthy negotiations to secure the vessel and many travellers already having made alternative arrangements for this year, so it will now set sail for the first time on St David’s Day 2010.

Last month, hundreds of shareholders voted in favour of forming a co-operative to purchase the 340-cabin, 1,400-passenger ferry MS Julia to run the route.

It will operate under The name of Fastnet Line.

    I have registered and will definitely be booking in early May. It would be helpful to know the crossing times (Night or Day) from either side as soon as possible.

    Just a quick update – the Fastnet Line website (www.fastnetline.co.uk) has more info now, and the ferry will be doing overnight sailings in both directions with additional daytime crossings in peak periods – full steam ahead!
