1,000 book tickets for Swansea ferry route
Fastnet Line chief executive officer Tom Barrett said the company was pleased with the level of bookings and inquiries. He said two-thirds of confirmed bookings had come from Britain and strangely a lot of bookings had come from as far away as Germany. “We have two steam engines coming over from Wales for the Upton Steam Rally in June and 40 vintage Rolls Royce cars have also booked to travel for a rally in Cork and Kerry next September,” Mr Barrett said.
He said the ship would leave Horgan’s Quay, in the city centre, within the next three weeks to undergo berthing trials in Ringaskiddy. It will then sail to Swansea on February 1 for a hull inspection and some work on its engines.
