Workers seek to make ferry shipshape for launch

FROM the outside it may look like little is going on but, within the magnificent passenger ferry MV Julia, workers are beavering away to make her shipshape in time to sail on March 1 next.

The Julia’s diesel engines are getting a lot of TLC as part of a six-week project headed up by chief engineer, Bob Ives.

The Fastnet Line-owned vessel is also undergoing structural work to ensure she complies to the highest regulations for the restoration of Cork-Swansea route.
