I didn't think so... The Cat bubble has well and truly burst for now, I think...

TFM...

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6931 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:26:25 »

Yes...?

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #6932 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:26:50 »

Got any spare cash?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6933 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:27:23 »

No $:-\$

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #6934 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:28:36 »

Damn

I can't afford that ferry myself $:-\$

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6935 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:30:15 »

I cannot see her getting a buyer easily...

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #6940 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:40:13 »

There was the odd rumour that a new company was going to be set up and the new Incat would be used between Liverpool and Dublin, but I'm not sure if its true

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6941 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:41:02 »

First it was going to be a second LD vessel I believe... Norman Arrow changed their minds...

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #6942 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:43:15 »

Well LD Lines didn't really have a clue what they were doing when they got Norman Arrow..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6943 on:** July 04, 2010, 11:48:48 »

Not really - all the talk "we are not getting fast craft... no we aren't..."

And then... "We are getting a fastcraft"

Lots of advertising of the new fastcraft... the biggest, freight carrying...

put it onto Dover-Boulogne

"this is great - we will get another. no more conventional ferries on this route"

but then

"um... it wasn't great, we are switching her to a seasonal role at Portsmouth"

trialguy · « **Reply #6944 on:** July 04, 2010, 12:01:57 »

oh,

only LD lines knows how hard that job is,
we dont....

They had worked really hard to keep the company up,
(they dont have enough money to paint their ferries the colour they want)

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #6945 on:** July 04, 2010, 12:07:04 »

no fdoubts there they have done everything to keep going. But they should have stuck to their instincts with fastcraft

As for the paint scheme, are you referring to the yellow Cote d'Albatre?

clanky · « **Reply #6946 on:** July 04, 2010, 12:42:07 »

Afternoon guys.

* clanky wishes to apologise in advance to TFM for the pain and confusion which this post will cause

Quote from: clanky on July 02, 2010, 10:22:54

ask me again tomorrow!

Ahh Clanky...

So do you still hate RO-PAXs and Dover?

Nathan|C · « **Reply #6948 on:** July 04, 2010, 12:46:46 »

Speaking of Dover, the 3 Maersk D's are being renamed and rebranded after Norfolkline was sold to DFDS...

Maersk Dover - Dover Seaways
Maersk Dunkerque - Dunkerque Seaways
Maersk Delft - Delft Seaways

They will get a dark blue hull and funnel with DFDS logos $:-\$

trialguy · « **Reply #6949 on:** July 04, 2010, 12:55:27 »
