Yep the Spirit is die in November time...
What do you think, TFM/TMF/MFI
What is your prediction for the Bilbao route? It seems every year both the route and vessel are on their last year?
I was told by a pursor (steve?
) that ICG want it back to be used for Ireland/Europe services... I doubt that there is a ship available which they could charter to replace it as the last 'spare' they had, the Aquitaine, is now well and truly sold.
Anyway, PO really need to get their act together onboard... They have a captive audience, but do not take advantage of it and don't part people from their money very well...
Future of Bilbao... Toughy that.
Firstly is the problem of Replacement tonnage, is there an availble ship suitable for the route...
Also With Brittany Ferries now operating a Portsmouth-Spain Service, is the route as profitable now?
Sadly, I think that the Bilbao is on its final term, and probably won't be renewed in Contract.
You say ICG want it back...
Could we be seeing a Ireland-Spain service maybe...? She isn't suited for the current routes, I think.
I think P&O will probably try to keep a Port-Bilbao service though
