Odys has began moving toward Flensburg again plus there's another on AIS which says "tugs and special craft", I wonder if this is part 2?

Nope - just make sure you're clicking the one on the BFE post and not from the embedded tweet.

Does anyone have any idea what the structure sitting outside the shipbuilding hall at the moment is?  And does anyone know what they are building next, will it be the second IF vessel?

 

[giloine]

Yes, i think it's the 62000 tons IF.... i think she will be based on WB Y but more long ....

Yes, two more freight vessels for FSGs parent group before the second Irish Ferries ship. 

The block on the left? That is the funnel for Honfleur, which will crown the ship on 7th January.

Many thanks Andy...hope you had a great day!
