Liverpool - Dublin ferry route to benefit Belfast
NorseMerchant Ferries is to reintroduce its passenger service linking Liverpool (Birkenhead) and Dublin from March 29.
The announcement, made by the company on Friday, means passengers can also avail of a twice-daily passenger service between Birkenhead and Belfast with passengers having the option of sailing out to Dublin and returning via Belfast, or vice versa - this being a particularly attractive choice for those touring Ireland by car.
NorseMerchant's passenger service between Birkenhead and Dublin was suspended in 2003 due to vessel re-deployment.
The company's 22,152 gross tonne Brave Merchant will make the sailings providing much-needed extra passenger capacity on the Irish Sea, especially over the Easter weekend.
The decision to re-start this passenger link follows hard on the heels of NorseMerchant's decision to upgrade its Heysham - Belfast freight service to three sailings per day in each direction.
