9th February - SPLASH!

Our new Ferry, MV Bute was launched today in Poland!
The ferry hit the water sideways! :-o
I sat all afternoon watching the webcam
But it never went to plan, there was troubles with the camera
so no one got to see it until the 'movie' was released on the site,

to watch the movie and see it splash into the sea sideways,
click here then click the link near the bottom.
The ship still needs to be painted in Calmac colours btw...

(sorry about size of pic, no bigger pics have been released yet tsk)

Thanks to Apollo for showing me how to Screen shot! :-)


other sizes: small original auto

Don´t understand your comment here, but it looks like something went wrong. Great pic anyway!

Cool clip. I wish we could have seen what the splash did to that near by tug boat. Looks like they probably had a bit of a wild ride.

Pity we can't match the costs and build in the UK.

I went on the current ferry just over a year ago and it seemed like going back in time. Cool video.

She better go sideways again! Powerful side thrusters are fitted to allow the ferry to dock accurately. Service entry date is expected to be in the June/July period, however, since the launch was early...

Great idea Zak!

Big splash!!
Guest 09-Feb-2005 23:02
I think Calmac should keep the red colour. ;) bet that made a big SPLASH when it launched!

Hopefully that will be the last time it goes sideways in the water :>O
How many more sleeps...1, til you become a grownup !!
Guest 09-Feb-2005 21:54
I was going to say! So, how long till it's in these parts?

Interesting PAD today ZAK, the movie didn't work to well for me but I got the gist of it.
Guest 09-Feb-2005 19:38
