Introduction. Irish Ferries have been invited to provide a written submission to this Committee on the implications of Brexit for ports in Wales and in that context, to respond to two key questions, which are; - What risks and opportunities does Brexit present for Welsh ports? - What steps should be taken, and by whom, to mitigate any risks and secure any benefits? It is important to note that Irish Ferries do not have a public position on this and are unlikely to do so until the outcome is more clearly defined. We have a responsibility to our shareholders and customers, to approach this in a measured way. At this very early stage in the Brexit process, any reports on the likely impact of Brexit in relation to international trade, and in turn its impact on trade through the ports in Wales, will inevitably contain a high degree of speculation. This report has been prepared in direct response to the request from the Committee, but is not intended to be the formal public position of Irish Ferries. Irish Ferries are members of the UK & Irish Chambers of Shipping and together with all of the other UK Ferry Operators, through the UK Chamber of Shipping, we have started the process of engaging with the UK Government Team, on the implications of BREXIT for our industry, to look for solutions, to facilitate and grow trade.
