From two new Newfoundland ferries?

Ballast · « **Reply #151 on:** September 29, 2011, 15:44:05 »

TFK,

If you would actually read what's being posted, you could see that both ferries are travelling to their new destination. I don't see anything wrong with this topic being kept alive with this info, afterall it still involves the ferries where this topic is all about.

It's not up to you to decide if a topic is useful or not.

is this topic still going on?

I thought that the old ships were gone, new ships came and end of story...
Strange i dont see anything special about keeping the topic alive unless there is an update on maybe new ships to the fleet or ships being taken.

Hi TFK

I made this topic to be about the two new ferries and the two old ferries too.
So the two old ferries are still on there way to there new home so lot's of news to come yet.
I hope this help you see y this topic is still alive

It is now reported that the MV Smallwood/8604797 has been beached at Alang, Oct 03/11.

This is a sad end to a great ferry

No word on the MV Caribo yet but she is most likely on the beached now too

The smallwood has been beached at alang? Oh dear god... on the flip side it makes getting hold of plans easier

That is surprising given that they are still relatively modern ships.

Doesn't bode well for the Pride of Telemark, the Pride of Dover and Calais...

Now I just have to make sure SPL takes care of Pride of Bilbao.... wrong age to be redundant for a great big ship..

Cat320DL · « **Reply #158 on:** October 05, 2011, 15:53:39 »

Ya I know 24 & 21yrs old. It is just sad that MA sold them for scrap. Just makes me vary angry at MA & the gov of canada

I heard the Pride of Telemark was going for scrap too

She was following the same route that the Caribo & smallwood where going on.

Well they are now on the beach at Alang. This just a sad way for them to go

As reported:
Caribou- beached at Alang 10/10/2011 Plot 58
Smallwood-beached at Alang 10/13/2011 Plot 60

Alang.... i hate that word

. it filles my minds of ships being torn apart on a barren shore, forgotten by everyone who knew them. That just ruined my evening.

Look on the bright side. Although she (or they) may sit on the beaches of, the-breakyard-no-one-can-tell-by-name, very soon, the materials will be reused right? Imagine: Caribo being scrapped --> a pile of materials --> sold to the sellers who want the materials --> new products being made out of those materials.

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #169 on:** October 18, 2011, 11:34:05 »

I wonder if the Pride of Telemark has arrived yet.

It was sold for a price well beyond the norm for scrap but it appears that is its fate nonetheless.

Now, I have about 7 years to add a few more million quid to buy a certain ship from SPL...

Last time I heard any thing on her she was in Gibraltar. She was doing the same route the Caribou & Smallwood where doing.

You know, i almost hope theres no pictures of them on the beach. its better for me to have ONLY images of them doing what they were meant to do.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #173 on:** October 20, 2011, 21:29:24 »

I can have a ask round if you are interested in seeing the "gory pics"?

Cat320DL · « **Reply #174 on:** October 20, 2011, 21:54:49 »

As sad as it would be I would still like to see pic's of them on the beach.
