Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion
Mr. Aidan Coffey:
We will have to monitor that because, of course, it is very hard to see the full post-Brexit reaction. It would help if we knew what the UK and Europe were going to decide to do. As Mr. Drennan said, there is a lot of overstocking, in that many companies are bringing in a lot of loads at the moment. We need to be cautious that we do not get a false number. Pre-bookings might look good at the moment but we are going to have to monitor it to see what happens.
We are going to monitor it over the first couple of weeks of January and we will see from there. If need be, we can step up the frequency with the three ships we have.
