"I see they never finished the logo on the side of the ship."

I'm not sure that they even started on the starboard side.

It was reported that TEF had not met the conditions of the chartering agreement (they probably failed to pay-up), so P&O took the ship back and is rumoured to have the intention to put her up for sale as soon as possible

Thanks Bob, I am afraid it looks that way.

Great shot Ken, and I was thinking of doing a round trip of Dover & Ramsgate soon to see the "old" ships in their "new" liveries. Looks like it will be just Dover then :-(.

Thanks Alan, I studiously avoid them.

Thanks John, I fear you could be right about her next trip, following her sister the Pride of Dover.
Kind regards

Nice one Ken, and not a wind-turbine in sight

Rd77 thank you for your information !! I am not up to date but some years ago I used TEF ferry Oleander and Larkspur and all looked like a company with a good start and alternative to existing ferry routes.

Cornelia, she is already coming BACK from TEF! Apparently TEF has suspended all operations. It could well be that P&O wanted their ship back before TEF goes under, or perhaps TEF was behind on payment of charter fees, but that is speculation.

Very nice, another one for TEF lines. They are well known for using old P%O ferries up :-)

Superb shot of her Ken. I expect the next time she'll be snapped is on her way back out to Alang though.
Best Regards

How very odd that she is already coming back. Too big or too expensive perhaps? Or not reliable after all? questions, questions...
