Talking of freight ships, it has just been announced that the European Seaway will be withdrawn at the end of the month ready for the entry into service of the Spirit of France. Think the Spirit of Britain will be going back to the shipbuilders to rectify all the problems which have surfaced and have hopefully been put right on the Spirit of France, and that the Pride of Calais will remain in service until the SOB comes back, whereupon she will join the Pride of Dover in retirement.
From P&O: EUROPEAN SEAWAY TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE
"The European Seaway dedicated freight ship is to be taken off the Dover - Calais service and laid up on 30 September 2011. This commercial decision will help us better match capacity to current levels of freight demand in the Short Sea sector, pending the arrival of the much larger Spirit of France later in the autumn. Affected seafarers will be redeployed to other ships in the Short Sea fleet"
