European Highlander

The M/S European Highlander, a near sistership to the Stena Nordica.
With the STENA CALEDONIA, in Loch Ryan, Scotland.

STENA NORDICA.

A SUPERB SHIP, originally the European Ambassador, and then in the P & O fleet, operating out of Mostyn, in North Wales.

MV Stena Nordica at Holyhead Linkspan.

Wash from the Argyll Flyer.

Argyle Flyer, view from the stern, as she opened out, towards Dunoon New Pier.

This service will prove to be difficult, in the stormy Winter Month's, as a tendancy to roll on berthing at the pier may cause problems.

Hope one of the car ferry's can be used, such as Coruisk, to solve this up coming problem.

The Scrapping of MV JUNO.

MV JUNO was scrapped, taking around 10 weeks.

This is the fine ship moving round to the beach, using her forward voith unit, 18/05/2011.

PS WAVERLEY, is in need of hard cash to survive, and I hope a successful application has been made to the Scottish Government for subsidy for the 2012 Season.
