Finnlines is set to expand its freight service between Rosslare Europort and Zeebrügge, Belgium, by adding a second ro-ro vessel to the route.

The expansion will provide customers with increased capacity and more frequent departures between Ireland and mainland Europe.

To meet growing customer demand, Finnlines is strengthening the service with the addition of M/s Lismore, which will join M/s Finnwave on the route.

The enhanced schedule will substantially increase freight capacity on the direct connection between Ireland and continental Europe.

Finnlines’ Rosslare–Zeebrügge service has proven highly successful and serves as an important trade link for Irish industry. Through transhipment in Zeebrügge, the service also connects Ireland with Finland, Poland, the UK, Spain and the wider Grimaldi Group network.
