Nowhere for her to try berthing as she won’t fit the floating link attached to the Princes landing stage, just like the Ben. Liverpool berthing trials won’t be until after opening of the new ferry terminal, for winter 24/25 weekends. Don’t expect a Liverpool trial until September 2024 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
