Some 4 months after suffering engine failure, Eucon containership Elbtrader has undergone what appears to be successful seatrials having been laid up in Bremerhaven. It is now likely that she will sail for Rotterdam Eemhaven to take up her Dublin schedule early next week or the week after.

Having looked at the sea passenger statistics for 2018, it doesn't make pretty reading I'm afraid. Passenger numbers have been steadily declining since 1998 and it looks as if that trend will continue for the forceable future. Holyhead passenger numbers are just about holding at the same level as in previous years. Larne - Cairnryan and Liverpool/Heysham - Doulglas are not doing well at all with the former experiencing a drop of -5% and Isle of Man routes droping by -5% and -7%. What the future holds for Irish Sea footpax doesn't look too promising. I hope I am wrong!
