Do you think this route will start and materialize?

Plans are underway to bring back a ferry service between Scotland and Europe by spring 2024, and discussions have intensified to establish this new ferry connection between Rosyth and Dunkirk.

A company named Ptarmigan Shipping is doing everything it can to restart the ferry service. They believe this ferry plan, nicknamed ‘Project Brave,’ could change Scotland for the better.

Bringing back this ferry is a big deal for the people who signed petitions for it. It’s not just about travel—it’s about helping Scotland and Europe trade, protect the environment, and connect in a new way. As talks keep going and plans take shape, we’re all waiting to see this new chapter unfold.

There used to be a ferry on the Zeebrugge (close to Dunkirk) to Rosyth route until 2018 when a fire broke out and the route stopped.

Also important to make a note here as in much media, they are also talking about a passenger connection and, they are using images of the current DFDS passenger ships sailing from Amsterdam to Newcastle. The ship that used to sail on the route from Zeebrugge to Rosyth was the Finlandia Seaways, this ship was only able to carry 12 passengers. So don't get your hopes up just yet!

Doubt it! 

Let's get it clear: the route will be for freight and motorized passengers in first place. Foot passengers are very marginal here, hopefully they will be accepted at all! So any "mini cruise" nebulosis is just pointless. Therefore it's impossible to expect anything more than Sirena Seaways to operate the route. "
