Maritime transport in Europe has always been a reliable way of moving goods and passenger at a low cost from one place to another. In the current context, all transport modes, including maritime, are called upon by legislators to improve their efficiency and reduce the amount of pollutants emitted into the environment. Road transport has been subject to increasingly stringent emissions standards since the early nineties, while emission standards for maritime transport are/were less stringent.

The Economic & Social Research Institute (ESRI) produced their ‘Middle Term Review 2005 – 2012’ in December 2005 in which they made predictions for the Irish economy out to 2012. These predictions, for the most part, were positive. Circumstances, however, changed in the second half of the decade and things went terribly wrong, with the foundations for much of the economic disaster being laid in the first half of the decade.

This 2007 study, on the feasibility of new direct RoRo services between Ireland and Continental Europe, is carried out against a backdrop of thriving ferry and trucking services via the British Land Bridge. Since the Act of Union with Britain in 1801, trade between Ireland and Britain has flourished, to the extent that much of Ireland’s trade with the rest of the world was streamed through Britain. Even today, Britain remains a strong distribution centre for Ireland and the Land Bridge services complement this distribution
network.
