The only North Sea Stena Pax's are the Trader and Traveller, which are too new and too big, and the Partner which is....not in the best of...erm...conditions..

I meant the Cal dips in the middle

Okay the dip is for the internal ramp which operates with a 1 in 8 gradient. they needed the dip so the ramp wouldn't be longer then the ship (or at least too long for the ship)

That is shocking....

Awful...nearly as bad as some Irish Sea operator

Well she will be blue soon...

Typical Belfast-iums, complicating things

She was already supposed to be blue

Well actually it was for the whole class, though they were all built by Harland and Wolfe...

A darker blue

The sisters like Stena Antrim with that stern arrangement looked a bit better, but the Cal just looks like someone at H&W sneezed as they were drawing her lines, decided it looked ok on paper, and then headed off down the pub

But yes TFM you should do a trip to Belfast

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7534 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:18:19 »

Are you reffering to the Duck-tail sponsons though? they were added later

laganviking · « **Reply #7535 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:20:59 »

Those too dont do anything to help its looks, but no. I was talking about the back of the Antrim. It had an extended passenger deck over the car deck at the back, whereas the Cal doesn't.

Blue is FAR to common for hull colour. They should keep the red. Not many companies have red hulls...

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7536 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:22:41 »

Oh yes, I know what you mean now.

I agree with the blue too.. there are too many blue ferries...

The Norse Irish red hulled Lagan/Mersey Viking mkI looked well, compared to the charcoal black of Norse Merchant.

The Lagan/Mersey Viking mkII just brighten the dull Mersey up

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7538 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:26:43 »

You mean the Lagan Seaways and the Mersey Seaways - best bet for the rename...

laganviking · « **Reply #7539 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:29:05 »

If DFDS take more of an interest in the Irish Sea Services than NFL did, i'll eat my hat

No no no wait, i'll go out, buy a hat and then eat it

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7540 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:30:03 »

I bet you will eat it to though...

laganviking · « **Reply #7541 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:31:41 »

I shall buy a DFDS hat and eat it

I am a man of my word when it suits me

But I think you will fid they have already started painting the Maersk Exporter - and she is renamed the Scotia Seaways

laganviking · « **Reply #7543 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:39:48 »

That one must have slipped past me...

I had better start looking for a DFDS hat pretty soon

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7544 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:42:56 »

You had indeed...

laganviking · « **Reply #7545 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:43:07 »

I see Maersk Dunkerque has also been renamed?

Maybe they will boldly go where NFL couldn't be bothered to go

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #7546 on:** July 20, 2010, 22:51:22 »

They are indeed

--tractorman-- · « **Reply #7547 on:** July 21, 2010, 09:45:21 »
