WEC Lines launches fast & direct service between Ireland, France & Belgium

The new weekly service will be performed by a 868-TEU owned vessel in a fixed 7-day rotation, departing Zeebrugge on Thursdays, arriving in Dublin on Sundays, providing clients with a heightened level of flexibility and efficiency, such as rapid end-mile delivery.

Dublin will now be called three times a week, as it is also a port of call in the existing Spanish and Portuguese services. Overall, WEC Lines’ commitment to the Irish Sea network will ensure a premium service to its clients.

As Roger Megann, Managing Director WEC Lines UK, pointed out: “WEC Lines has been active in the Irish market for over 30 years from Portugal. In 2024, we launched a dedicated Bilbao call connecting Dublin, facilitating onward linkages to and from inland Spain and the Canaries.

Megann adds: “2025 will see the launch of this new service connecting Dublin to Zeebrugge and will also extend our reach to the surrounding European hinterland, further demonstrating WEC Lines’ commitment to Ireland as we grow the wider network that will see our range eventually extend to the Baltics and beyond whilst continuing to develop our markets of Portugal, Spain, Morocco and ast Africa.
