Ferry Operators Handed £77.6m in UK Government Post-Brexit Contracts
Ferry firms involving four operators have landed UK government contracts worth a total of £77.6m to provide post-Brexit freight capacity.
Brittany Ferries, DFDS, P&O Ferries and Stena Line, according to BBC News, will have the job of ensuring medical supplies and other vital goods continue to get to the UK.
The government says it wants a smooth flow of freight "whatever the outcome of negotiations with the EU",
Contracts will be in place for up to six months after the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December.
The additional capacity will be on quieter ferry routes between mainland Europe and UK ports in Felixstowe, Harwich, Hull, Newhaven, Poole, Portsmouth, Teesport and Tilbury.
