Hi, I'm new to this but my favourite line is P&O and The Pride of Bilbao has my vote as favourite ship. I worked on her for two years. She runs from Portsmouth to Santurzi which is in the Basque region of northern Spain. This is a regular route, (twice a week), through the Bay of Biscay. Unfortunately I don't have any statistics on her but I was told that she was a car ferry originally built for a route that would take her through ice. She certainly handled all that the Bay of Biscay could throw at her.

Ok I've decided not to lock the poll because I need as many people as possible to reply and I have contacted Stena Line, Brittany Ferries, Color Line and (P&O ferries- incase they wish to have another vessel as they are so popular) to see if they want to add a vessel into the game.

Sorry Nathanael but it's not Stena Line.

It was P&O saying they will talk to Pjotr

My favourite Ferry

Built as Prins Filip for the RTM Dover-Oostende service in 1991, although she did not enter service until 1992. Withdrawn 1997 when RTM ceased operations. Bought by a Stena Group company in 1998, and chartered to P&O Stena Line as Stena Royal for freight operations between Dover and Zeebrugge. Charter extended and renamed POSL Aquitaine. In 1999 began to carry passengers again on the Dover-Calais route. Transferred to P&O in August 2002 and renamed Pride of Aquitaine. Received new P&O livery for 2003 season. Chartered by P&O from Stena Line until 2005, she was retired early in May 2005. In October 2005 she started a new service from le Havre to Portsmouth as Norman Spirit, operated by LD Lines.

I like that ferry also...
It's not my favourite but I like it, especially in the LD Line colours.

Here is a really good shot of her from http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=314206

desnerckbjorn · « **Reply #46 on:** November 14, 2007, 01:20:50 »

True True, well I'm from Ostend so I've known it all of my life. Even un uncle of me worked on it

.

Luckely Trans Europe Ferries came to Ostend (along with Ferryways) and brought some of the old ships back into service => Prins Albert & Prinses M-Christine (and kept a lot of jobs).

marcstrat · « **Reply #47 on:** November 14, 2007, 07:26:22 »

Hello Bjorn,
At that time i found it very strange,first they ordered to build the "Prins Filip",and just a couple years later they stopped the company(RMT).The vessel was how old?maybe 3 or 4 years old?
Last time,i wanted to go to Ramsgate,so i made contact with the new company.Well,they told me that for the moment only peoples with cars can go on the ferrie.I have no car,and that was not possible to go with them.
One option they gave was to go to Calais,how would i get there?
I remember times that i went 3 or 4 times in a year to go to Ramsgate,with Sally lines.and no car was needed.
Marc

Wasnt this poll closed?

KDS · « **Reply #49 on:** November 17, 2007, 11:20:09 »

I need alot more vote than I got but I closed it and then realised it was stupid because only about 100 people had voted out of 16,004 so I thought I would keep it open until 1.1.2008.

Poll

Which Ferry company would you like to see in the game? (and your favourite ship specify please)
