The matter has been resolved and Norbank was not arrested.

Norbay just leaving Dublin going to Mostyn.

The problem with Mostyn is Tidal. Travelled on the European Ambassador into Mostyn many times. The advantage of going from Mostyn to Dublin was a cooked Breakfast before arrival into Dublin after 8am.

Might be just as it travels through the Gulf of Aden

She is near the Suez, Probably go through tonight.

Looks like Europe is due back in service from the 16th September

The booking system is showing Europe back from 1st Sept

She has just left Belfast, Due in Genoa on the 7th May.

I twill be interesting to see where she ends up. As far as I know MSC does not operate any ferries, They operate Cruise ships and Container ships.

I hope Epsilon can handle the freight volumes.

Epsilon can take 170 units, W B Yeats can take 165 units.

Dublin port schedule has W B Yeats departing on 15th at 08.05 from berth 51A, And from that night from berth 49.
As expected it will be covering Ulysses schedule.

All IF sailings to Holyhead cancelled due to weather. I wonder if Ulysses is still nursing some problem. Adventurer left about an hour late this morning and is expected to make her return on time but is cancelled tonight.

I would think she is as this is what the website was posting

Irish Ferries regrets to advise that due to adverse weather conditions on the Irish Sea, the 08:05hrs Ulysses sailing is cancelled.

Superfast X seems to be the most reliable this year

My guess is that when W B Lates does arrive, it will go into operation on the Dub to Holyhead route. If you book OW to Holyhead, there is no option to book cabin's.

It seems that Ulysses is to get a few days off. Her sailings are been replaced by the Inishmore, who's sailings are been replaced by the Oscar Wilde.
According to the booking site, Ulysses last sailing is 08.05 on Monday 29th and back for Thursday 1st for the 20.55 sailing.
