Hibernia Line
New connectivity to Europe / Regional development / Supply chain security.
Wrapped up in a commercial opportunity backed by a sustainable vision
Our Vision
Hibernia Line aims to establish a new, sustainable, customer-focused freight and passenger ferry service between the island of Ireland and central mainland Europe. This initiative seeks to address the growing demand for improved connectivity and reduce reliance on Ireland’s two East Coast ports and the UK land bridge for essential goods.
By providing a direct, unencumbered, and customs-free route between the EU and EU, Hibernia Line aims to offer a credible alternative for both freight and passengers. To achieve this, the company plans to charter existing vessels initially, with a long-term goal of introducing new, energy-efficient, zero-emission dual-fuel vessels from the fourth year of operations.
Leveraging the underutilised yet strategically located ports of Ringaskiddy, Cork, and Boulogne-sur-Mer, Hibernia Line seeks to generate immediate revenue and profitability. This early success will fuel the company’s growth and innovation efforts, driving it towards a more sustainable and connected future.
With all necessary preparations, including port, ship, service, and system providers, as well as experienced senior management, Hibernia Line is poised to commence operations in Q1 2025.

St Patrick & Boulogne-sur-Mer
“Boulogne-sur-Mer: St. Patrick’s Native Town” provides a case for the Apostle of Ireland having originally come from Armoric Gaul or Britain in France.
The author, Rev. William Fleming, strongly refutes the notion that Patrick came from England, Wales or Scotland, citing evidence from what he regards as the most reliable sources, not least the Saint’s own “Confessio.”
He believes that the Bonaven Taberniae that St. Patrick refers to in that account – as the place of his father’s residence and from whence Patrick was taken captive – is now known as Boulogne-sur-Mer in Northern France: Boulogne-sur-Mer, or ancient Bononia, was called by the same name, ‘Bonaven,’ as the town in which St. Patrick implies that he was born. Boulogne possessed a Roman encampment, and it was, therefore, Bonaven Taberniae, mentioned in the ‘Confession.’
Rev. Fleming was born in Tramore, County Waterford, Ireland, in 1844. He was the author of a number of books, including “A Complete Calendar of English Saints and Martyrs” (1902) and “The Life of St. Patrick, Apostle of Ireland” (1905). He also produced an undated booklet entitled “St. Patrick’s Birthplace: A Summary of Proofs that the Apostle of Ireland was a Native of Boulogne-sur-Mer, France” (Books Ulster, 2020, ISBN 978-1-910375-67-9).
He died in London in 1921.
