And the Larne - Fleetwood service to close.

[The Ferry Man]

It is indeed - real shake up on the Irish Sea, with Stena Line seemingly the biggest winner

[The Ferry King]

nope!
stena line is on 41%
and PO Ferries is on 64%

[The Ferry Man]

I wasn't referring to the poll

[The Ferry King]

nope!
PO Ferries is still more popular, they atleast care about SOME of their ships
stena line doesnt even care about any at all!, i bet the new Stena Hollandica will go rust in 1 year

[The Ferry Man]

better not let Stu hear you say that...

But I was refering to the Irish Sea, Stena Line has benefited a lot - no real competition in the north now

[The Ferry King]

what about Irish Ferries?

[The Ferry Man]

They don't work above Dublin

[The Ferry King]

oh! you meant Oh! sorry got confused
i get it!. yes then its Stena

[Dustybin]

Stena Line are in the middle of taking over the DFDS Belfast-Birkenhead, Belfast - Heysham and also Dublin - Birkenhead. As a Truck driver on these routes regular I hope that Stena can make a better job of it. I also travel the Koek van Holland to Harwich and Killingholme, and sometimes on the Europoort to Hull(P & O) and the Europoort to Harwich (Stena). What about the new Hollandica or Britanica. As Vstep is in Rotterdam its only 5 minutes down the road and they are fantastic ships.

[The Ferry King]

nah, the ships dont look right in SSE,
and there is no point of having another rotterdam ferry when we already have one in Sse

but great ships though
