And the Larne - Fleetwood service to close.

It is indeed - real shake up on the Irish Sea, with Stena Line seemingly the biggest winner

The Ferry King · « **Reply #177 on:** December 08, 2010, 18:01:56 »

nope!
stena line is on 41%
and PO Ferries is on 64%

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #178 on:** December 08, 2010, 18:02:34 »

I wasn't referring to the poll

The Ferry King · « **Reply #179 on:** December 08, 2010, 18:04:19 »

nope!
PO Ferries is still more popular, they atleast care about SOME of their ships
stena line doesnt even care about any at all!, i bet the new Stena Hollandica will go rust in 1 year

better not let Stu hear you say that...

But I was refering to the Irish Sea, Stena Line has benefited a lot - no real competition in the north now

what about Irish Ferries?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #182 on:** December 08, 2010, 20:59:15 »

They don't work above Dublin

The Ferry King · « **Reply #183 on:** December 08, 2010, 21:20:59 »

oh! you meant Oh! sorry got confused

i get it!. yes then its Stena

Stena Line are in the middle of taking over the DFDS Belfast-Birkenhead, Belfast - Heysham and also Dublin - Birkenhead. As a Truck driver on these routes regular I hope that Stena can make a better job of it. I also travel the Koek van Holland to Harwich and Killingholme, and sometimes on the Europoort to Hull(P & O) and the Europoort to Harwich (Stena). What about the new Hollandica or Britanica. As Vstep is in Rotterdam its only 5 minutes down the road and they are fantastic ships.

nah, the ships dont look right in SSE,
and there is no point of having another rotterdam ferry when we already have one in Sse

but great ships though
