Wexford Business Award Winner 2017

We attended the Wexford Business Awards 2017 which were run by the Wexford Chamber of Commerce last Friday night.  Nolan Transport was extremely successful on the night.


Following the application and interview process, we were shortlisted for two awards, the Wexford Large Company of the Year and the Wexford Export & Logistics Award.  The competition in both categories was very tough, with well-known companies from a diverse business range such as Pettit Group, BNY Mellon, Atlantis Seafood Wexford and The Griffin Group some of the finalists in the Large Business category.

We were very pleasantly surprised to win both the awards!

Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECA)

Changes taking place from January 2015 in relation to the European Union directive on Fuel Emission that all ferry operators operating in the Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECA). The SECA zone includes English Channel and North Sea that we must travel though when moving your cargo going to/from Mainland Europe. The current maximum allowed Sulphur content in marine fuels is 1.0% and this will reduce to 0.1% within the Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECA). Effectively this means that traditional heavy fuel oil used in freight ferries will be replaced with more refined fuel oil which is more expensive to purchase. All the various ferry operators within this area have slightly different but similar systems for calculating the SECA surcharges.
