It’s a Stena ship.

The bus at Roscoff is amazing it has a steering wheel at each end!!!

Another eflexer this time a DFDS charter. https://www.dfds.com/news-and-media/news/dfds-charters-new-ship-for-the-english-channel-in-2021

Only with a substantial Scottish government grant.

Always a loss maker , on paper it is a good idea if you had a Newcastle style service not sure about freight.

It’s in the SNPs intrest to keep the route or a very similar one open for obvious reasons. (Trying to keep politics out of it.)

Published: 2018-04-23 13:01:56 CEST PERFORMANCE ISSUES CLOSES ROSYTH-ZEEBRUGGE ROUTE COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT performance issues closes rosyth-zeebrugge route The route between Rosyth in Scotland and Zeebrugge in Belgium carrying only freight is being closed. The financial performance of the route, that deploys one ro-ro freight ferry for three weekly round trips, has struggled to meet expectations. Freight volumes are, in general, increasingly being focused on large hubs offering a high frequency of departures deploying larger ferries. As volumes are not foreseen to pick up on the route nor large enough to sustain an efficient route set-up, the route is being closed. The annual revenue of the route was around DKK 100m in 2017.

I’m sure it’s Northlink that offer a car parking service for customers seems a good idea if a bit impractical for a busy crossing, I’m certainly not looking forward to my crossing on Bretagne in the summer I’m sure there won’t be as much room as there was on my last crossing.

Other people being on my ferry.

She’s off to Oman to become MNG Tahiti a floating armoury vessel , will hunt out the Rueters link as I read this on a closed Facebook group.

I presumed it was due to safety issues for example a terrorist attack.

Had a few bad experiences on the M5 now it’s one of the reasons we decided not to use Plymouth for this years holidays. No excuses for bad service onboard personal I would be doing what wortley said.

You can see the emotion etched on his face , a fitting tribute.

A very happy Star Wars day it will be I’m sure.
