Results Of Carbon Emissions: The Swansea-Cork ferry service was reopened by the operators when locals pooled money, resources, and bought their own ship. The shipping industry is considered for the domain of Greek billionaires, not of a co-operative of ordinary people with no experience. It was local businesses and individuals who teamed together to increase the money to buy their own ship- resulting in a large increase in carbon emissions as people took to the skies or drove hundreds of kilometres to alternative ports. Results Of Carbon Emissions:
Research had indicated that each time the ferry had docked in Cork, it resulted in an injection of some 100,000 pound into the economy. A year after the Swansea to Cork ferry ceased sailing, tourism in Cork was down 30 per cent with an estimated loss of 35 million pound. Within two years they had moved from an internet campaign to reinstate the service to actually owning a 22,000 ton passenger ship.

In a report, Cork country councillor, Dermot Sheehan, said: "The withdrawal of the ferry in 2006, which had been taking about 100,000 people a year from Wales to Ireland had proved 'catastrophic' to some in the tourism industry."
