Irish Ferries has officially announced that the Blue Star 1 will serve its Rosslare to Pembroke route, becoming the fastest Britain-Ireland RoRo passenger ship in the process. The company has also announced a Dover-Calais service.
As we revealed earlier this week, the Blue Star 1 was seen being painted with an Irish Ferries livery at the Greek port of Piraeus.
It had been rumoured that the vessel would operate between Dublin and Cherbourg. However, the Blue Star 1 will instead be used on the Rosslare to Pembroke route. Thanks to the ferry’s top-speed of 28 knots, it will be the fastest Britain-Ireland RoRo passenger ship once it starts operating later in the spring.
