Irish Ferries- Isle of Inishmore- Pembroke Dock

[EuLO245]

@shellbombell Actually, the Isle of Innisfree is not the sister ship of the Inishmore. For some reason the Stena Jutlandica is the Inishmore's sister ship.

@CharlotteCusack All of the IRISH crew were laid off in a deal that set the precedent we said at the time . No one cared as they were all ok................. at the time ..................... shoe, other , foot . And I was proud to sail on this and her sister whom she replaced, the Isle of Inisfree . Is there any reason you use plurals of letters ???

how much volume is a tonne of diesel?

I know a square metre of water weighs a ton. diesel is lighter.

[seamanrob]

@tpvalley, generally Marine diesel oil MDO has a specific gravity of about 0.97 - so its almost like for like. So its 0.97 tonnes approximately, or 1.03m3 for 1 tonne...

I think my maths is correct here ! :)

"continue to exploit eastern european nationals for a salary that some might regard as slave labour"

It's interesting that nobody was complaining when practically all of Irish Ferries' competitors were doing the same thing many years ago. It's unfair to expect Irish Ferries to pay workers 10€ an hour and they're competitors pay their staff 4€ an hour. Not to mention the french competitors who are subsidised by the French government. Interesting the EU has different rules for the French.

[grahamcunn]

Are you related to Alfie McGrath by any chance.Are you trying in a childish and somewhat perverse way insult the Irish work force. Or then again, are you (like many Fianna Fail supporters) the first to envy other countries proud union achievements.Wake up buddy!!!. I just hope It's not your son or daughter you'll have to console when their out of a job due to corporate greed of a company envious of the employment laws of a third world country.

[grahamcunn]

This is the company, who sacked all their sea going staff. They then, and continue to exploit eastern european nationals for a salary that some might regard as slave labour. How dare the brand themselve's "Irish Ferries".They are an embarrassment to the rights workers have fought for throughout the world.

here here!

[dathiboy]

She fly's the Irish flag when she enters Irish ports as she fly's the UK flag when she enters Pembrooke etc..

Her home flag is the cypriot flag is and that is flown in every port.

All Irish Ferries vessels are now registered in Limmasol.

I should know this, as I worked at sea with Irish Ferries and was in dry dock for the re-flaggings.

[DopeyJakeyMop]

Sorry not registered in Ireland

[jpx01]

Fact. Irish Ferries' Isle of Inishmore is no longer registered in Dublin, was reflagged in Jan 2006, when 750 crew were made redundant and eastern european crew employed. You may remember the news coverage during the strikes over this in Dec 2005.

[rhyshuw1]

Look- This footage was filmed this month. What evidence have you got to support your point? Just press play...its not hard.

[rhyshuw1]

It is still under the irish flag but was registered in Limmasol.

[dart22]

"It is still under the irish flag but was registered in Limmasol. "

How could it be registered in Limassol and be under the Irish flag? It flies the cypriot flag. That's a fact.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. A lot of ships on the Irish sea are registered in Nassau and fly the flag of the Bahamas.

[seamanrob]

@rhyshuw1, I don't mean to throw a spanner in the works here, but if its registered in Limssol, then it cant be under an Irish flag. that is the whole point of shipping registers. Maybe you are getting slightly confused with say the survey requirements, which could quite easily fall under the Irish authority, whilst retaining its registry in Cyprus? Or the fact that its still operated by an Irish company... still doesn't make it an Irish ship if its registered to a Cypriot port.

[jpx01]

It's the "MV" Isle of Inishmore, and was Europe's 2nd Largest at it's launch. No longer under Irish flag, now reigistered in Limmasol

[rhyshuw1]

Don't know what planet you are from, but i can assure you that the Isle Of Inishmore is still used by Irish Ferries (I saw it earlier this month) and the information on the right is correct. I never said that the ferry was the largest in Europe- I said it was one of the largest ships in Europe- get your facts right.

[DopeyJakeyMop]

She is definetly still used by Irish Ferries but is still registered in Ireland, does not have Irish crew and is registered in Limmasol
