Superfast Ferries who run the daily ferry service from the east coast of Scotland to Belgium is to stop operating out of the port of Rosyth, the company has confirmed.
The company said the service would end in mid-September. Sources at the company blamed fuel costs and passenger numbers for the decision. A statement from the company's board of directors said: "We regret to announce the discontinuation of the Rosyth to Zeebrugge ferry service as of 14 September, 2008."
The Scottish Government said it was "disappointed" as it was "a commercially successful service". Scottish Ministers are strongly committed to the continuation of this route, and will pursue all viable options to achieve continuity of a commercially operated service
