Last post by giftgrub - April 05, 2024, 06:57:13 PMAla'Suinu still making slow progress and has got a buddy, the Costa Toscana is moving equally slowly alongside for the last couple of days, i suppose they are in no rush and it's about to cross an area filled with more fishing vessels than there will be fish in the sea (by the time they are finished) off Mauritania.

Lübeck :)
Apologies, still in Lübeck would expect it to be moving soon, due to enter service on the Irish Sea Saturday 13th April, weird it has not moved since March 13th, would have thought if its not being used ideal time to get it over.
I believe she's getting modifications done before she heads to the Irish Sea

Last post by giftgrub - April 04, 2024, 07:41:48 AMAla'suinu is off the coast of The Gambia this morning at a steady 14.5 kts, is going to take quite awhile to reach Canada at these speeds, the other EFlexers managed the trip from China at a much faster pace.

Last post by Ferriesbetterfastercheape - April 03, 2024, 03:34:20 PMMhmm, thanks for info. Seems so that Las Palmas offers better / cheaper / faster fuel-conditions and service than the big Oil- (and freight-) port in Santa Cruz. Other new-buildings has stopped there also not long time ago.
And clear that they are not going full speed at delivery-trip - but they are more slowly and with more fuel-stops also than other new delivered ferries from China in the last years.
