Brittany Ferries has announced it is ending its weekly service from Cork to Santander in Spain. Brittany Ferries chief executive, Christophe Mathieu said: “This was not a decision we took lightly and follows extensive consultation with our freight customers who sought better road connections and reduced driving distances. Brittany Ferries will benefit from a recent €25 million upgrade of the port. However the Port of Cork expressed its disappointment at the decision while stressing that it remained committed to facilitating Brittany Ferries in its weekly Cork-Roscoff service, due to recommence in March. “This surprising decision by Brittany Ferries to cease its Ro-Pax ferry service from Cork to Santander is very disappointing, however we will continue to pursue other options for linking Cork and Northern Spain,” said the port.
