In the wake of our massive server transfer, we've still been encountering some forum issues.
It was rather quiet on the forum, and not because of inactivity but because all posting rights were revoked for some reason, thus prohibiting anyone from either posting a reply or topic.

I've restored all member permissions to what they should be originally. Anyone with a registered license key can post again. Regular members without any key registered will remain to be unable to post due to an anti spam measure we applied.

If you still encounter odd problems with the forum, don't hesitate to contact me or any of the moderators.

I found some more, and better, pictures of "Red Kestrel". It looks as if she is driven by two azipods, one for'd and one aft.

I was very pleased to hear the news that Camell Laird at Birkenhead is building a new ferry for Red Funnel. she is to be called "Red Kestrel". I have only been able to find a small picture of her but obviously quite a departure from the design of the current fleet. After many years in the doldrums, Camell Laird has become a great shipbuilder once more. The new Royal Research Ship "Sir David Attenborough" is also to be built there.
Great news after the rotten behaviour of Costa Line refusing delivery of the already built new mid section for one of their cruise ships. This just about bankrupted the builders, so it is good to see that the Company has recovered so well. Ship building on the Mersey is not dead yet!!!!!

Hi all! Currently I am studying Creative Media and Game Technologies and as part of my studies I am researching the interest in a new ship simulator. I actually know a few people that were involved with the development of Ship Sim 2008, so who knows what this research might lead to

So please follow the following link and help a fellow sim enthusiast out! Click here for the survey, help me out!

 Gee wilikers! 10 years sure went by..... Haha

Thought I'd pop in, reminice, and give a quick hello.

I hope everyone is doing well, sailing through life with best the conditions possible.  

Alot of interesting memories in this place. It's wild to think that this was a huge part of my childhood when I was 10-14 years old. Everyone's grown up now!

Hallo Jan,

I'm really happy for you that it's fixed now!

Looking foreward to your upcomming attachments (missions) / lol

Erik
