Mega-ferry underway
Construction of the second in a pair of new ships for P&O Ferries has started at the yard of STX Europe in Rauma, Finland.
The first of the new ships is on schedule to be floated out of its building dock in early May before delivery at the end of 2010. The second ship will be delivered in the third quarter of 2011. P&O Ferries is investing a total of €360m in the new ships, which at 49,000 tons are the largest ferries ever designed for the Dover – Calais service.
