Title: Good News! faktaomfartyg is BACK!
Post by: The Ferry Man on June 17, 2011, 21:16:02
Its a sad day

the famous "ferry bible",

http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/

has sadly been closed down, due to server issues...

 :'(

It is the best ferry resource on the internet feature near enough every ferry in existance with pictures and information...

It was a great site, and will greatly be missed... :(

OH NOOO  :'(

That can't be. This site was one of the best sites in the whole web!

Do you know if there is a way to catact Mike - I would really like to thank him for his great work. Maby if there are enough farry fans in the world we could try to build a site like this up again - together. If this site is no more the internet hasn't much sence anymore.

 :(

Ferry pity that the Faktaomfartyg.se has closed due to stupid problems with the server. If he had made a backup of the site on the server he could upload it to an other server.

So in a couple of wecks, I hope I can reopen the site.

Wish you a nice summer

 

Micke

I'm very happy about this and I'm looking forward to see the site open again.

Joey

It is fery fine that Facktaomfartyg is back. But not all the images of the ferries are on the server yet. I think that he has still to upload the images to the server of Faktaomfartyg.

Sadly, the site is not in English, but I agree, it's a decent place to offspring ferrymen.
Speaking of sites dedicated to one type of ships, www.heavyliftvessel.com is my favourite one, though in construction.
