WELCOME
UNCERTAIN FUTURE FOR SHIPPING
s I write these words, the
country has entered a second
national lockdown. Although
this one appears not to be as
stringent as that in the spring, the Covid
restrictions continue to have a major
impact on the shipping world.
While construction work on new ferries
and cruise ships continues, their short-
term deployment opportunities seem
limited. The impressive new E-Flexer
Galicia made her debut for Brittany Ferries
recently, but as she underwent berthing
trials and crew training, the company’s
one-time flagship Pont-Aven went into
lay-up at Le Havre.
A
Many cruise ships remain laid up on
the south coast, and elsewhere, and the
prospect of a return to service of others
is not known, while older ships continue
to be taken out of service and scrapped.
Uncertainty surrounds many areas of life at
the moment as 2020 draws to a close, and
the shipping industry is no exception.
In these challenging times, your support
of Ships Monthly is very welcome, and
if you are struggling to get your copy I
would strongly advise you to take out
a subscription, as there are some great
offers available for Christmas.
