My hats off to you gentlemen. i broke out in a cold sweat just imagining trying not to sink my own vessel and anotjher . The communities. The whole time trying not to put a big whole in here. i would have night mares For month's . You guy's have nothing but the highest admiration from me. It's got to be one of the most stressful jobs in the world. I'm in no way implying it isn't very stressful, but I hear there's more aircraft that actually land and take off by themselves than we'll ever know

Built in Finland Rauma Yard.

the ulysses is a great ship, I have had the privilege of travelling on her to holyhead
-
At least say Holyhead right
-
Always a positive experience on the Ulysses; it is a shame that the rail connection from Holyhead is such a long wait for the 21.15 hrs sailing from Dublin. passengers are stuck ' Holyhead from disembarking around 12.30 until just before 6am, not much fun if it is winter & cold. I avoid this sailing where possible.

Nice.

Irish are great sailors! I know because I am one! I am a deck officer!

Irish Ferries have ordered another ship of her size for the Irish/French route.

This documentary is either full of it or their ships have gone downhill in just two years. I have made three crossings, and the ship is usually vacant, smells and run down. You can't find any workers, the roll is horrible, and the customer service is non existent.

I thought I recognised Isle of Innisfree. It is now "Kaitaki" and operates for KiwiRail's 'Interislander' on the Cook Strait between Wellington and Picton in New Zealand. It is a great vessel !

I remember sailing on the old Killian and St Patrick, they were both good ships but nothing compared to the size of this beast. I think the Killian 2 ( Killian was extended so they renamed her to Killian 2) was only 7,000 tons and the Patrick was even smaller. So sailing on this amazing ship is a huge step up.
-
do this with the isle of inis more
-
don't you use counter-rotational props. ?

I've been on this ship a few times. Would never use anything else now! Travels over a rough sea like it's not there. Amazing ship.

38:32 one of the lifeboats are missing

I thought smoking was banned in ferries...?
-
What a great video!!! Was never aware of the Irish ferries. Nice ship too!!

This is incredible! Fascinating documentary. Got to hand it to the Finns - they build some ship!
