Finnlines boosts capacity on Ireland–Belgium route

Finnlines is strengthening its freight service between Rosslare, Ireland, and Zeebrügge, Belgium, by introducing a second ro-ro vessel on the route, offering customers more capacity and greater flexibility.

From the end of May 2026, the vessel M/S Lismore will join M/S Finnwave, increasing frequency and providing more options for customers transporting goods between Ireland and mainland Europe.

The enhanced service responds to steadily growing demand. With additional capacity and more frequent departures, customers benefit from improved flexibility and reliability.

“We have seen steadily increasing demand on our service and are pleased to offer our customers greater capacity and flexibility,” says Umberto Raimo, Deputy Line Manager at Finnlines.

The Rosslare–Zeebrügge route has become an important gateway for Irish trade, offering direct access to continental Europe. Through transhipment in Zeebrügge, customers can also reach a wide range of destinations, including Finland, Poland, the UK and Spain, as well as the wider Grimaldi Group network.

By expanding the service, Finnlines continues to support its customers with efficient freight solutions and strong links to key European markets.
