My absolutely top favorite ferry with no second is the ROMILDA which navigates in the Agean Sea.
I was lucky to travel several times with ROMILDA between PIRAEUS and PAROS or KARPATHOS

Tore, what a coincidence that Transbaltica was built in your hometown - Kristiansand!

Stena Leader, Stena Pioneer, Stena Seafarer:

Stena Leader is my favourite, however

Jack.

Pride of Hull, Pride of Rotterdam and then it's a tough decision between Maersk Dover, Seafrance Berlioz, Pride of Canterbury or really any other Dover ferry

Ferryman, I wonder what're your most favourite ferries?

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #8 on:** September 29, 2009, 22:06:51 »

Hmm whats the shortest length they can be in feet to be in your "ship" Category

Kapn Jonah · « **Reply #9 on:** September 29, 2009, 22:08:19 »

I dont think it really matters, does it? It says ferries...

Wave Music · « **Reply #10 on:** September 29, 2009, 22:08:36 »

Any lenght, so your NYC yellow water buses would do also.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #11 on:** September 29, 2009, 22:22:06 »

Wave Music · « **Reply #12 on:** September 29, 2009, 22:25:51 »

Well, looking on that "yellow rectancle" I can consider that your model (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,13739.0.html) is almost finished.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #13 on:** September 29, 2009, 22:29:59 »

Wow that was a long time ago haha, I gave up on that. It was before I knew how to work sketchup and I didnt measure anything, and it ended up the boat was 1,456 Feet Long

She was featured on the program "SuperShips", think she was 4th Supership. It also showed how her jet system works. It is most definately a recommended program to watch, very interesting.

My Fav ferries are:

Ben My Chree:

Manannan:

King Orry:

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #16 on:** September 30, 2009, 00:52:41 »

I actually saw that a few years ago, along with the mughty Servant one and a few others, I loved that show, now it never comes on

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2009, 07:42:00 »

Hi James,

Thought, if you didn't know, this might interest you (A little typed up bit from Ships Magazine)

"The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's flagship Ben-my-Chree completed her 15,000th sailing accross the Irish Sea on the 31st July".

Jack.
