Love that livery

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7701 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:51:09 »

I like the Steam Packet one on the Manannan

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7702 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:51:24 »

I don't know, I feel they are very big compared to the current fleet, why woyukd P&O put them in direct competition, where would TEF get the money.

And where does LD fit in with it all?

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7703 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:52:14 »

Thats a very nice, basic one which suits the Manannan very, very well

Not as well as Viking did.. $:-\$

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7704 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:56:17 »

Manannan isn't the only InCat they own I see...The Snaefell looks quite decent too.....

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7705 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:56:51 »

Both have engine problems at the moment though $:-\$

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7706 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:57:13 »

Well at the minute they both have a buggered crankshaft. And Snaefell might be saying her good byes at the end of this season

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7707 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:57:22 »

Viking was built in the same yard as POR I see

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7708 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:57:45 »

Quality stuff eh!

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7709 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:58:07 »

That is a shame if Snaefell goes - the last InCat 74m in the UK...

and bound for lay-up only probably as well...

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7710 on:** July 23, 2010, 22:58:59 »

Yup, I think she could be up for sale, but anyway, I'm going to go, tired after driving a tractor all day $:-\$

Cya tomorrow peopless

Bye Tractorman

Bye TM

so:
list of InCat 74m laud up in /around UK waters...

Emeraude France
Condor 10
---
Snaefell...?

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7713 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:01:29 »

2/3 of the 74m's are laid up, whilst the others future is in doubt? That's

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7714 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:02:02 »

I know...

so sad...

no one wants them...

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7715 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:03:23 »

I see the Condor 10 is being replaced by a certain 86m Cat..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7716 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:04:14 »

She has been replaced... few months back now,,,

laid up in Weymouth

Emeraude France laid up in Tilbury...

I wonder where Snaefell will be laid up? Douglas perhaps

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7717 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:07:50 »

A lot of ships have been laid up recently... One that suprised me was the Amorique (? I think). Strange to lay a passenger ship up..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7718 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:08:44 »

Faktaomfarty is showing the former Hoverspeed GB as being "arrested"

http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/hoverspeed_great_britain_1990.htm

doesn't sound good...

yes the Armorique was laid up last winter... hadn't been in service a year...

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7719 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:10:40 »

That is very strange...maybe a safety inspection or they haven't been paying port taxes..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7720 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:11:11 »

Not sure - first I have heard about it... $:-\$

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7721 on:** July 23, 2010, 23:13:13 »

Nothing on the internet about it either...

Anyway, I am going to go to bed now, i'm tired

Bye TFM

I saw a very sad picture of the Seafrance Cezanne in Ships Monthly today.
Laid up in Dunquirk

Shame to let a good ship like that go to waste.

http://hhvferry.com/blog/?tag=seafrance-cezanne

And also Iscomar, have had to lay up two ships because of rising port taxes.

The Mercedes del mar & Isabel del mar.
Leaving just the Nura Nova in the whole of its fleet!

Consequently scrapping 6 routes out of seven.
