The Port of Cork welcomed Luxembourg’s Ambassador to Ireland, Florence Ensch, on a recent visit to the Ringaskiddy facilities. This visit marked an important step in strengthening ties between Ireland and Luxembourg, particularly in the realm of maritime logistics. The Ambassador was greeted by the team from Luxembourg-owned CLdN, a leading player in the shipping industry, which operates direct routes from Cork to mainland Europe.
During the visit, the discussion centered on the potential for future routes between Ireland and Luxembourg, a topic that piqued the Ambassador’s interest. For Luxembourg residents, these routes could open new doors for travel to Ireland, enhancing connectivity and benefiting both nations.
CLdN’s role in facilitating these routes was highlighted, underscoring the company’s commitment to expanding European logistics networks. With a strong presence in the Port of Cork, CLdN has already established itself as a key player in the movement of goods between Ireland and the continent.
The Ambassador’s visit comes at a time when the Port of Cork is undergoing exciting developments. The port’s expansion plans are set to further enhance its position as a vital hub for European trade and travel. As Ireland continues to bolster its maritime links with Europe, the potential for new shipping routes to Luxembourg is now being explored, offering opportunities for both leisure and trade travel.
The meeting also showcased the port’s strategic importance in connecting Ireland with European markets, something that Ambassador Ensch found particularly intriguing. This growing relationship between the two countries, supported by key logistics players like CLdN, could be a game-changer for Luxembourg residents looking to travel or do business in Ireland.
In thanking Ambassador Ensch for her visit, the Port of Cork team expressed optimism for future collaborations. With discussions like these paving the way, we may soon see Luxembourg emerge as a key partner in Ireland’s maritime network.
