TALKS have been held at the French port of Dunkirk to discuss plans for the reinstatement of the ferry link between Rosyth andMeeting this week with the Mayor of Dunkirk and the Scottish Government team in Paris, Chapman and Sloan discussed building on support from the region for this sea connection to Scotland as well as practical arrangements for a berth at Dunkirk.
“Dunkirk has all the factors in place as the perfect ferry destination for continental Europe, both in terms of the business case and its physical capabilities, with the necessary infrastructure including an available berth and border control facilities, an excellent passenger terminal, onward freight destinations, and access to Belgium, Germany, Holland and France for holiday makers.”
“The boost to tourism both locally and nationally could be significant as would the reduction in carbon footprint from taking holiday makers and freight off the road, rail and air networks. For freight, faster transit times and avoiding congested ports at Dover will be a major factor in terms of the cost competitiveness aspect of this route.”
