If she can physically get on the berth at Plymouth there's no reason why she won't fit Roscoff. I'd like to see them have a go at least. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

When the new terminal is built in Santander there will be two linkspans to choose from. I've only known the Cap to be bow on in Santander.

jonno Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Just for interest, Galicia is travelling at just over 23kts at the moment, anyone know what she managed on her speed tests? Service speed is supposed to be 22kts. Link to post Share on other sites
Fine Whine Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Now up to 23.6 knots, but of course she’s heading south which is downhill... Chris 4 Link to post Share on other sites
