It's just a short article but good publicity for H & W in N Ireland's biggest selling daily newspaper the Belfast Telegraph.

Agreed..Good publicity but it would be better if there was an aerial shot showing the Viking Sun now in the Building Dock with Stena Europe...Some dock that we have !! I am informed that the work involved on the "Three Sisters" is quite extensive and not just post Covid necessary updates ( read into that what you will ) but also general maintenance .So on the former we must congratulate John Petticrew and his team ( in particular the renowned commercial expertise of William Duff ( look up his credential on the Web site or LinkedIn ) on securing the deal which involves quite some high speck work on high speck ships and the need for subcontractors of quality and keeping a close eye ( i am told ) on the estimators and costs in what is a fiercely competitive market of course .I posted some weeks ago that we would need to move on in time from looking after local Irish Sea Ferries to something bigger ....was not expecting the Vikings quite so soon --bit of a shock really. Anyhow the pictures are wonderful publicity and it would be nice to follow it up nationally showing what we can achieve despite all the groaners !! Onwards and upwards as they say .Maybe the voyage continues into calmer seas !
Hmm ..upon closer inspection of the Belfast Harbour Ship Locator the Viking Sun appears to be just outside the Building Dock gate..which makes a bit more sense -stand to be corrected on that one !!
Wonderful footage and thank you ever so much Speedy .. love the Belfast accent by the way !!
Thanks Speedy_Gonzalez Great post.
I took a drive down to Belfast earlier and it's a very impressive sight to see the 2 Viking ships docked back to back. There really was quite a stir in the area with a lot of folk stopping, taking photos, etc.
We honestly do get cruise ships coming to Belfast regularly, lol, however I think the novelty for us locals is that you can get to less than 50 metres from the 2 ships and see the sheer size of them, rather than seeing them from a distance to where they normally dock across the dock channel at the cruise ship docking.
The 3rd Viking ship is afloat just outside the Building dock and the Stena Europe is in dry dock looking very small in comparison.
