The Port of Cork hailed the arrival of ICL’s cargo vessel Independent Vision yesterday (Saturday 6 June) to commence the start of a new weekly direct service from Cork Harbour to the United States.

As previously reported on Afloat.ie, the new route gives Ireland its first direct container service to the US east coast in many years, offering Irish exporters the most reliable and fastest delivery times for their supply chains.
