SEALINK BA= TO BELGIUM • Sealink British Ferries has launched a new dedicated freight service between Dover and Zeebrugge. Sealink's return to the major UK/ Belgium route with its Seafreight Highway' ferry will be linked to the company's existing Dover-Dunkerque run.
In future, the two sister ships 'Seafreight Highway' and Seafreight Freeway', will, between them, provide two round trips daily to Dunkerque and two round trips per day to the Britannia Dock in Zeebrugge.
Both ferries are purposebuilt 5,000 tonne vessels with room for up to 80 vehicles. Facilities on the new 'Sealink Highway' will include a drivers' dining area, with a wide range of hot and cold meals, along with a TV lounge, games room, shower and washing rooms and 12, four-berth cabins.
The latest service will now provide 10 dedicated freight sailings per day into Belgium — two on a direct basis and eight via Dunkerque through the Ghyvelde corridor.
Sealink Freight Services space can be booked by contacting the reservations offices on the following numbers: Dover 0304 205156; Dunkerque 010 33 2 8273737; Zeebrugge 050 510089.
NEW FERRY FOR BRITTANY • Brittany Ferries is planning to significantly increase the freight space on its Spanish and Breton routes in the spring of 1989 following the introduction of its new ferry the 'Bretagne'.
The 22,500 tonne vessel, which is currently under construction, will carry 62 HGVs and 200 light vehicles on the Plymouth/Santander, Plymouth Roscoff and Cork/ Roscoff routes.
The 'Bretagne' will also enable BF to offer hauliers more capacity than on its existing routes — particularly to Spain, where BF expects to increase the number of freight vehicles carried per year from the current 4,000 to 10,000.
