National Ferry Fortnight

NATIONAL FERRY FORTNIGHT has been launched (Saturday 8 May) and runs until Saturday 22 May.  It has come at a very opportune time for the ferry companies who are enjoying a mini-boom due to the volcanic ash problems.  The ferry operators will no doubt hope that the forced use of water borne transfers, mainly to the Continent, will persuade some people to continue with that mode of transport.  Highlight of the fortnight is the introduction of Stena Hollandica to operate between Harwich and the Hook of Holland, at 62,000 tons much the size of the cruise ship Crystal Serenity.  She has capacity for 230 cars and 300 freight vehicles, plus over 500 ensuite cabins.  On board is a children's playroom, a teenager area, a cinema and a Stena Plus Lounge.  There are 12 kennels for dogs www.discoverferries.co.uk
