Ocean Network Express has announced a revised port rotation for its Irish Sea Express service, effective late May 2026, introducing a direct connection between Southampton and Ireland while maintaining Rotterdam’s link to Belfast.
The updated service will operate across two loops. The first will run Southampton to Dublin to Cork and back to Southampton, replacing Rotterdam on the Dublin and Cork leg.
The second loop will continue to connect Rotterdam and Belfast.
The adjustment enhances coverage across Europe and improves direct access between southern England and the Irish market.
