Stena Line’s Irish Sea trade director has reported that the ferry operator now transports more freight from Belfast than before Brexit, underscoring the company’s essential role in Northern Ireland’s transport infrastructure.
The announcement comes as the ferry company celebrates a significant milestone in its operations, demonstrating resilience and growth despite the challenges posed by post-Brexit trading arrangements.
As a critical link in the supply chain between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, Stena Line’s increased freight volumes reflect the adaptability of maritime transport services in responding to evolving trade requirements.
The growth in Belfast freight operations shows shipping is a vital component of Northern Ireland’s logistics network, ensuring the continuous flow of goods across the Irish Sea.
