I cant help thinking the regulations would be a nightmare to agree. It appears not to be fly very high at all - so serious potential for collisions with other large vessels at sea, especially when taking off and landing. There would have to be agreed "sea sky" lanes, surely, and pretty serious observation kit onboard?

Where?!

I was thinking BF may use her directly Portsmouth - Le Havre at some point in the schedule.... maybe a part of 'exchange' agreement for the NEX, if BF wanted some limited passenger capacity for Le Havre this year...

I was looking - the Vinga has outside single berth cabins. I bet they would be popular, if BF ever sold them. But they may likely be reserved for Freight drivers I guess?!

Would be useful for Le Havre, until there is enough cash to install an accommodation block on Cotentin at least!

FAB to see PA back in service yesterday. What is her Summer schedule now? Clearly no PORTO, but is she still going to be doing Roscoff? and Ireland? Or just Spain and back seeing France has banned all UK entries now?!

Presumably, if BF decided to run a joint service with Condor to save money, then tests would be needed even if your destination wasn't France, if France was one of the stops on the schedule?!

Where is she headed after?

I am of course speaking on behalf of all ferry-deprived, tongue-in-cheek Devonians!

Foreigners... taking our ship!

Agreed - would be much better to have separated private space I think!

She travelled to Roscoff and back every day, but only had about 1/3rd capacity I believe because she didn't have enough lifeboats for full cover at that time. Was great to see her here!

That would be great for BF presumably? Mop up some short-sea traffic?

What are the proportions of unaccompanied like on Dover-Calais? I presume as the reasons Gareth has mentioned, that they are pretty low due to the rapid turnaround times required?

Ben Cocks original was so much better, written for BF. > https://www.tvadmusic.co.uk/2013/01/brittany-ferries-curiosity-can-lead-you-anywhere/
