Competition for Steam Packet

Publication Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2010  08:06


High level talks have taken place between Government officials and the Steam Packet Company to assess what effect a new freight operator in the Irish sea will have on the company.

The company has already lost 2 major contracts to Mezeron, and it's feared that passenger fares and services could be affected as a result.

Staff are to be briefed about the current situation and the potential risk to jobs today.
