I may be looking superficially at the livery, but it looks OK to me. Not being a naval architect or particular authority on boats, I just thought I would put forward my view ahead of the expert crowd who will tell is all why it is so wrong. IOMSPC livery was famously stolen by Cunard Line You have to hang on to your stuff in Liverpool If she's bigger than the Ben then she's going to be a tight fit in the Half Tide dock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’ll be more cabins and premium lounges/seating ( its all about up selling ). Slightly more freight and vehicle capacity. Service speed will be 18/19 knts but it will be capable of sustaining 25. That’ll give a sub 3 hour Heysham for TT, allowing 3 round trips a day at peak demand. If successful over 3-4 years there’ll be a sister ship, to replace the fast craft. Of course, if any of that is true, and not man in the pub talk, and I haven’t been in a pub since before lockdown, it raises interesting questions about the viability of Liverpool. it’ll never be full apart from TT, that’s a lot of over capacity, do we need a very expensive terminal for what isn’t our main gateway? Should the people's ferry have premium lounges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you just see it. £50M spent and the boat won't go in it. We need another £25M to widen and extend. Or Peel Ports can sell us another plot of land to build another Terminal. And as the one we've built is no good now we'll give it to PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, you couldn't ask for higher levels of reliability than they've had out of the Ben for over 20 years. Major constraint has been the scant passenger facilities.
