The ‘Independent’ today stated that from 2015 Ferry prices will increase sustainably. This is due to the Ferry sulphur emissions being reduced from the current limit of 1.0% to 0.1%.
This will mean Ferry operators will have to switch from low grade fuel oil which they are currently using to either diesel of LPG in order not to exceed the new limits.
The article also went on to say as a result many longer ferry runs will be discontinued resulting in a huge increase of HGV''s driving through France.
(Ironically, increasing the amount of sulphur in the atmosphere!).
I bet the channel tunnel operator can’t wait.....to put up their prices too.
