Of course, this is an attempt by the company Gotland boat to escape responsibility for a ferry they never got into operation .. and this because of their own and find out the various strange business .. and not Greek workers or anyone else of what I mentioned earlier .. Here is a shrewd shipowners and a bunch from Sweden who think they can start a shipping company overnight. Right now Gotland boat during investigation of public complaints Comitte in Sweden, where it will be held accountable for ticket sales this summer .. where customers do not receive full compensation from the company for trips that never were meant to be delivered on time. Company thanks also received shareholders to put extra millions in shipping company in order to attempt the company from bankruptcy for the moment ..

For "canberra97": rumors say that Isabella is scheduled to leave for Spain next week.

I heard these rumors and allegations before Johan61. What makes me a bit reluctant is a couple of things noticed from our end, here in Greece:
There was no such strike that could cause a significant delay, nor any harsh weather conditions.
Apart of the crewing rules that exist for vessels under Greek flag there are no "ridiculous" rules other than those existing in the shipping industry worldwide.
In regards to thefts etc, these are other covered by insurance and in any case we have not seen any official statement from owners, charterers, etc for such, nor a single complaint to the authorities for such incidents.
I am unable to comment on the "lazy workers", not sure who is accused and for what reason.

"gtogias" These data sabotage and theft come from Gotland Boat's former Chairman and also CEO .. they went out this summer in newspapers (www.helagotland.se) and blamed the boat's delivery delayed by lazy strikers Greeks, the Coast Guard and ridiculous rules + that he claimed that it was deliberate sabotage and theft of important parts including machine ..

What's going with the Isabella 1 the former Olau Hollandia of 1981 which is berthed on the other side Vastervik?

"sabotage"? "Steals"? Where is this information coming from? The understanding locally is that work is not progreesing for financial reasons, nothing to do with "sabotage" or "steals". Also nothing like that has been reported to any authority.

Looks to be another painting of the hull on the outside including .. Does anyone know if the machine is complete now and works after all "sabotage" and steals ..
