As mentioned Stena Horizon is still in quarantine due to a number of Covid 19 cases among the crew.
Stena Estrid seems to have gone technical on arrival in Dublin last night not leaving until this afternoon. I am only seeing this now after the fact how did Adventurer dock in Dublin ?

Irish Ferries and Stena plan to run alternate week schedules on their ferries to Cherbourg so that there is a direct, roll-on, roll-off ferry service for lorries every day from next year.

Irish Ferries will operate a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday service one week from Dublin to the port, in addition to their usual Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday weekly departures.

Stena will continue its service between Rosslare and Cherbourg on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and plans to add a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday service on the week Irish Ferries does not sail on these days from Dublin to ensure a daily service between Ireland and mainland Europe.

Irish Ferries declined to comment on the new service.



It appears confusing, are they adding Ferries or just tweaking their schedules?

Seems a long way to go for a wash 'n' brush up!

Unless (pure speculation) she may be may be relieving one of the behemoths on the Harwich - Hook run afterwards?

There is a post on the previous page saying Adventurer was going to Belfast with major stabiliser issues.

Take from that what you will

Europe is back in action at Fishguard sailed to Rosslare this afternoon, Per Marinetraffic Nordica departed Fishguard but has overshot Holyhead and is on its way to Liverpool it seems.

Europe is cancelled due to essential maintenance on Monday per Stena sailing update -some sort of inspection I assume.

According to the Stena Line live freight timetable Nordica is due to pick up service with the 0855 from Holyhead Sunday Morning, 3/5/20.

The article on NI Ferry also explains that Nordica has been on a UK Goverment DfT charter presumably a stand by  which explains why she has been hanging around Rotterdam so long since finishing in Rosslare last October.

Something Kicked off in Liverpool due to the cash flow squeeze

from rte.ie

'A key supply line linking Liverpool and Dublin has been indefinitely delayed after Peel Ports prevented a P&O Ferries vessel from sailing.

Peel Ports is the owner of The Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, which operates the docks at the Port of Liverpool.

The Norbay, a ropax vessel, is a ship carrying food, medicine and other supplies between the port of Liverpool and the port of Dublin.

However, it was stopped in Liverpool this morning after P&O was presented with what the company described as "a sudden demand for payment of almost £600,000".'
