Routes between the Republic of Ireland and the EU now account for an 18% share of all island RoRo volumes
Changes in maritime traffic on the island of Ireland in the first three months of this year were described as significant and unprecedented by the Irish Marine Development Office.
In its first post-Brexit quarterly review of port volumes, the IMDO reported a 13% decline in so-called RoRo volumes compared to the first quarter of 2020.
RoRo refers to roll-on roll-off traffic on cargo ships that carry wheeled cargo, including trucks coming from the UK, the continent or other parts of the world.
