The Isle of Inishmore thread

[larry]

Thought it might be an idea to have an IOI thread as the Innishfree got its own too, I'll start this one by asking if anyone knows why the Inishmore reversed into her berth in Rosslare tonight (08/09)

[larry]

Also this seems to happen from time to time its not really a one off so is it the same reason every time like maintenance or something ?

Larry, I emailed Rosslare freight (irish ferries) at the time of this and asked why she was docked like this? And they replied to me by saying that there was maintenance being done on the bow doors, therefore they couldn't be opened,

I see she's very late in to Pembs, she's passing us now at 0200.

Big U dose it every 3 months to do a life boat launching test on the side that would normally be alongside the quay wall & for servicing of Marine Evacuation System (MES).
