The Lough Foyle Car Ferry Project
The Lough Foyle cross border ferry service came into service on June 14 2002 providing a year round, roll on/roll off ferry service between Magilligan and Greencastle.
The development of the ferry service provided direct access to two areas where no previous link existed and is a prime example of a cross-border initiative producing something from which the entire region will benefit.
The ferry has opened up the region’s tourism potential, transformed the area’s transportation infrastructure and significantly enhanced economic progress in this part of the north of Ireland.
Funding for the £4.2m project was provided by the European Union Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation (£2m), the International Fund for Ireland (£1m) and the Irish Government (£0.7m) along with contributions from Limavady and Donegal County Councils (£0.5m).
