Still not too pleased about my two favourite channel ships being painted in the same boring dark blue and white colour scheme every other ferry seems to be in these days

a pic of the other ships of norfolkline in the same color

the second and the last are norfolkline ferries

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7428 on:** July 20, 2010, 18:35:58 »

I don't recognise the 1st and the 3rd ship down? The first one looks a bit like the Queen of Scandinavia, but not sure..

DFDS

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7433 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:19:52 »

So does this mean the whole DFDS fleet will be given a dark blue hull too (if they don't already have a dark blue hull)?

trialguy · « **Reply #7434 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:24:46 »

well i think the same they are going to be repainted with all their ships....

but on their website they have 3 fleets...
Tor Line, Norfolkline and Dfds Cruise

the Dfds cruise might stay the same colour (which is blue,light blue and white)
the tor line and norfolkline will get a dark blue hull

but i think its all going to be repainted

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7435 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:26:23 »

The entire fleet is being repainted.

trialguy · « **Reply #7436 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:27:27 »

ooh woow....
thats ugly....
They are big copycats of p&o ferries!!!!

see the similar things?

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7437 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:32:56 »

If making a ship blue and white is copying P&O they are also copying Seafrance and Stena Line and Condor and Seatruck and Brittany and LD Lines.....Like I said, the same boring blue and white colour scheme as everyone else, so it's not really copying....Norfolkline had the most interesting liveries with the bright blue....now it's gone...

PLUS...DFDS already had a blue and white colour scheme, so obviously they're going to change a new company they have purchased to their own colours.

trialguy · « **Reply #7438 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:34:59 »

can you imagine this beautiful pic changing into someting
horrible just by changing maerk delft *the ships on the top of the pic*\

uhm....
what about transmanche ferries?
i know its part of Ld lines but still they have the same colour....

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7439 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:36:48 »

It is like someone pullinh up a paor opf trousers on the Ferries...

Seafrance has a narrow blue streak on the bottom near the water line, P&O is slightly higher, then Norfolk DFDS with the full trousers up to the superstructure.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7440 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:37:02 »

It's not horrible...it's just a colour scheme that they have to change because the ships are still in Maersk colours. The Norfolkline/DFDS merger is a really good thing...it just means we loose those lovely bright blue ships

P.S, I'm a bit confused at why a big company like Maersk would want to pull out of the ferry industry?

Is this the last interesting ferry colour scheme in Britain?

.......We need Moby lines over here

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7441 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:37:56 »

But where has the bue come from - all previous DFDS ships had a white hull, only DFDS Tor Line had Blue...

Congratulations, TFM. You just made the 7,500^th reply in this thread!

ow woow that quick...

COOL!

Transmanche ferries is yellow NOT BLUE

Wow!

Yes, Transmanche Ferries is indeed yellow, but LD would probably change it if it wasn't for their contract...

But every ferry in Dover now has a blue hull of the same colour.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7446 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:42:41 »

btw, LD pulled Transmanche out of Dover in early 2009....The Cote D'Albatre is now working at Portsmouth (Still for LD?), and the Seven Sisters practically owns Newhaven

trialguy · « **Reply #7447 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:44:36 »

ld lines doesnt have enough money for that

the ramsgate thing costs about 139 pounds for 4 people!!!!!
and norfolkline just 19 pounds...........

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7448 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:45:26 »

LD own Transmanche

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7449 on:** July 20, 2010, 19:46:27 »

LD own Transmanche??? I thought they just had a contract to operate ships for them or something...
