Once the MGP 'rush' is over the Ben can easily handle the usual winter season - if the bad weather is a feature of global warming then Mannanan's season looks to be shortened in future Good business planning, two ferries that won't operate in typical Irish sea weather ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't lose money on what would have been a rubbish visit anyway. You think people coming here buy travel insurance? Many don't seem to have it when they end up in A&E and realise that the reciprocal health agreement isn't as comprehensive as they thought. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monasqueen Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 It is an accepted maritime term. In maritime law, a collision and an allision are different. When two moving vessels crash, that is a collision. But when a moving vessel crashes into a stationary object, that is an allision. Allision vs. Collision | What Is The Difference?
