RHA disappointment at Superfast Ferry news
The Road Haulage Association is bitterly disappointed at today’s news that Superfast ferries are pulling out of Rosyth.
“This news will come as a tremendous blow to the hundreds of haulage operators for whom the Superfast ferry route to the Continent has become, literally, a vital lifeline", said RHA Director for Scotland, Phil Flanders. "We are particularly disappointed that all the work involved in bringing the ferry here in the first place and to keep it running efficiently has been in vain. This closure will have a serious affect on Scottish hauliers who will now have to travel many miles south before the Continental leg of their journey even begins. The knock on effects will include increased journey times and a vast increase in fuel costs.
"It is inevitable that the Superfast closure will inevitably mark the end of the road for many of our vital, smaller operators and we will be seeking assurance that the Government and the port operators will bring in a replacement service as soon as possible."
