Possibly due to the location of the damage and the steel work behind may need to fixed, seem to be some ripples in the bodywork.

Probably needs to be fixed to keep the inspectors happy, and for sailing in stormy weather possibly the best option is drydock and new steels.

With the recent additions to the Dover Calais route I wonder if there will be any announcements regarding a permanent replacement for Rosslare - Pembroke.

Hull777 would be an ideal replacement on the Pembroke run

There must be some serious work being carried out on the WB she has been in H&W for 20 days and is now expected back on Tuesday 30/11/21 but the return date has been put back a couple of times already.

Epsilon departed late for Holyhead this afternoon was slow crossing and has been in and out of Holyhead a couple of times not sure if she even got to dock currently outside the port

As of 3pm Epsilon and Estrid have docked in Dublin. However Adventurer and Ulysses are still cruising around Anglesey waiting for the weather to improve so they can dock. They have been at this for some hours now. The Met Éireann website suggests the seas are subsiding but the wind on the central corridor is unusually strong and is persisting into the evening.

Interesting that the ships can make the crossing but it is the docking that causes much of the delay.

Ulysses still not docked

Not sure if this is the case, but apparently Epsilon not on schedule for next summer
