    As some will know I get the French stations here and OPAL TV covered a march in Calais on the last day of the open offer situation....which was the day before yesterday. I couldnt fully understand what was being said but it was a gloomy dismal march by people trying to save both their jobs and the company, although the body language of the marchers told all, ie that they knew the game was up..but are/were living in hope.

    I would guess at this juncture that the companies interested in running a service between Calais and Dover will now wait for Seafrance liquidation/bankruptcy and make offers on at least two of the ships. The Rodin and Berlioz are particularly attractive vessels and very use-able on the channel...and are soon very likely to be available at bargain prices, as often happens following bankruptcy.

    It would still be the preferred option that Seafrance be resurrected from extinction by some miracle, but prospects looking poor now indeed.
