Brittany Ferries has confirmed that two of its UK–France ferry routes will cease operations later this year.
The Portsmouth–Le Havre route will close at the end of September 2026, while the Poole–Cherbourg service will cease operations at the end of October 2026. These changes may affect hauliers, freight forwarders, and logistics companies currently relying on these crossings for regular freight transport between the United Kingdom and France.
For transport operators, the closures mean reduced route availability on certain UK–France corridors and the potential for increased demand on alternative ferry routes. As capacity shifts across the market, advance planning and early booking become increasingly important to maintain operational efficiency and avoid disruptions to transport schedules.
At Eurogate Connect, we provide access to more than 500 freight ferry routes across Europe, helping hauliers compare services, optimise route planning, and identify the most suitable transport solutions for their operational requirements. Whether your business currently uses the Portsmouth–Le Havre corridor, the Poole–Cherbourg service, or other UK–France freight routes, our experienced team can help you find reliable alternatives.
With extensive knowledge of ferry networks, customs requirements, and cross-border freight transport, Eurogate Connect supports transport operators in adapting to changing market conditions while keeping goods moving efficiently.
