Mrs Merton Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Have a friend who was due to travel on this. Passengers have been offered an alternative on the overnight ferry from Heysham. As he was only due over for one night he asked for a refund instead. No go apparently as they've offered the Heysham option. Tw*ts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Just heard a 'witness' on MR who said it appeared to be 'the wind' that blew them back into the dock where it bashed its' side. They've just announced on MR there's an emergency at the airport too, with fire engines coming from Port Erin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsmurf Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I wonder if this is the same master that was in charge when the Sea Express one had its little mishap?? nope, Snaefell's gone to Dublin If i am reading the AIS Liverpool site correctly Snaefell has left Dublin her ETA Douglas 17.30. Looks if they are going to try and turn her round in half hour to take an 18.00 to Liverpool. Viking is still moored at landing stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ship that big would probably displace all the water in the irish sea, and would 'crash' into everything by attracting by its gravitational force all the other ships that were anywhere near it. Cars have steering wheels and engines, and you need a licence to prove you are competent to drive one - similar rules are applied to ships these days I believe.
