CLdN to Increase Capacity on Liverpool-Dublin Route by 25%

By | 2025 Newsletter week 20 | No Comments

CLdN announced a 25% capacity increase on its Liverpool – Dublin service. The increase will be achieved through the deployment of 4-deck, 3,700-lane-metres RoRo vessels.

  • Environmental benefits: larger ships will reduce customers’ CO2 emissions per tonne of transported cargo by up to 50%.
  • The new, scalable schedule comprises 24 return sailings per week and will operate between CLdN’s recently refurbished Brocklebank Dock terminal in the Port of Liverpool and the Port of Dublin.
  • The capacity increase is a direct benefit of the recently completed expansion and refurbishment of the Liverpool terminal.
  • CLdN carries more than 200.000 freight units on the route every year.

P&O Ferries will stop Liverpool-Dublin route

P&O Ferries announced in a message that the Liverpool-Dublin route will be axed.

The company says that, earlier this year, the owner of our Liverpool site, Peel Ports, informed P&O that its current berth would no longer be available after the end of 2023.

P&O says it has been looking for solutions, but “no suitable alternative has been offered or found that would enable to maintain the current service into 2024.”

The company is now “beginning a consultation process with the employees affected by the intended closure of this service.”

NORBAY and NORBANK, which currently serve the Liverpool-Dublin route with 24 sailings per week, will be redeployed elsewhere on the P&O Ferries route network in the coming months.
