I have to agree with Andy (258). I really don’t think P&O will get through this and DFDS will be waiting to get their ships. To get the right ship for this route is extremely difficult (size, speed, manoeuvre abilities, berth fits, passenger capabilities etc) and these are of course, perfectly suited. I agree entirely with his predictions.
We have all seen them come and go over the years, Townsend, mopped up by P&O, Normandy, again taken by them, SeaSpeed and Hoverlloyd became HoverSpeed, Sealink became Stena that became P&O Stena, Seafrance came and went, Speed ferries was another. I think they call it ‘evolution’.
