CLdN has made a direct pitch to the British Government in a bid to win contracts for spill-over freight in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
Speaking directly to Chris Grayling, the British Government’s Secretary of State for Transport and Nusrat Ghani, the Shipping Minister, Phil Pannett, a CLdN representative in the United Kingdom told the ministers that there was no need for money, but that the ferry operator was set to deploy four new ferries in the coming months.
Luxemburg-registered CLdN decided to cancel the first of two 5,500 lane meter ro-ro vessels from Uljanik. The Croatian yard is experiencing a lot of difficulties and failed to meet the terms of the contract. The ships were originally planned for 2018.
In the meanwhile, Uljanik received a number of bids from potential investors.

As the Brexit negotiations are drawing to a close, CLdN Cargo (part of the Cobelfret family) started sending out periodical newsflashes to their clients, in which the company explains what exactly will change and what has to be done to ensure a smooth transition.
The first newsflash was sent in the last week of November.
Earlier this year a truly unique event occurred. Dublin Port welcomed two of the world’s largest short-sea ro-ro vessels on the same day. That’s is almost 16,000 lane-meters, with only two ships.
