Irish Continental Group plc (ICG) is pleased to announce that it
has entered into an agreement for the purchase of the passenger
ro-ro ferry Ciudad de Mahon from Trasmed GLE. Title to the vessel
will transfer to ICG on delivery which is expected by late January
2022.
The vessel will serve the Dover - Calais route operated by Irish
Ferries after dry docking and branding changes.
The vessel was built in the year 2000 by Astilleros Espanoles
S.A. (AESA), Spain. It has a gross tonnage of 22,152 tonne,
passenger capacity of 589 and a freight unit carrying capacity of
91 units.
The Company commenced services on the Dover - Calais route on 29
June 2021 with the Isle of Inishmore. The Isle of Innisfree (ex
Calais Seaways) was delivered to the Group on 3 November 2021. She
is currently undergoing drydocking and is expected to commence
services on the route during December. The Ciudad de Mahon is
expected to commence services in the first quarter of 2022. The
introduction of these two vessels, representing a total investment
of EUR35.5m, alongside the Isle of Inishmore completes our
previously announced plan to introduce three vessels on the Dover -
Calais route. This will allow Irish Ferries to offer up to 30
sailings per day on the route with sailings in each direction
approximately every 90 minutes.
