Abstract

The Irish Sea has long been a critical corridor for commerce, travel, and cultural exchange between the UK and Ireland, reflecting a longstanding history of economic and cultural ties. Its waters have enabled the efficient movement of goods, ideas, and people, establishing a robust network that underpins the region’s economic and social structure. However, recent events have exposed vulnerabilities in this essential link. Extreme weather conditions and unforeseen maritime challenges have disrupted established operations, significantly impacting the logistical networks that support the area.
