Acciona Trasmediterranea to open Vigo - Portsmouth
Spanish ship owner Acciona Trasmediterranea will open a regular goods and passenger ro-ro service between the Spanish port of Vigo and Britain's Portsmouth in April 2007.
The port authority of Vigo, in North West Spain, confirmed today that Trasmediterranea had opted for link Vigo to the port of Portsmouth instead of Bristol because of the ports proximity to London.
Trasmediterranea, recently rebaptised Acciona Trasmediterranea, will initially add Portsmouth to a service between Vigo and France within two months transporting goods only.
A fully fledged service between Vigo and Portsmouth Ferry port will not come into operation until April 2007. Spanish construction group Acciona is a major shareholder of Trasmediterranea.
