Multi-national logistics operator XPO, in collaboration with the Irish national operator, has announced a second weekly intermodal service between Ballina and the Port of Waterford. The service will start in June, less than a year after the inaugural service. The line to Waterford’s Belview freight terminal has been in jeopardy in recent years, but the boost in continental trade, much of it attributed to traders seeking to avoid Brexit complications, has seen a turnaround in fortunes for the south coast port.
