Cash for Brittany Ferries and LD Lines

摘要

The latest round of funding from the European Union's Marco Polo scheme, designed to take freight off the roads, is supporting Brittany Ferries' and LD Lines' routes from England and France to Northern Spain. Brittany Ferries' 'Culfstream Motorway of the Sea' serving Bilbao and Santander receives €5.57 million over three years, while LD's St Nazaire-Cijon route, launched last September, gets €4.17 million. Ustica Line's Spain-Italy link between Almeria and Livorno gets €3.57 million, but there was disappointment for Fastnet Line's re-established Cork-Swansea connection, while other operators turned down included Acciona, Finnlines and Grimaldi.
