No upper car-deck for there size. How much would they cost?

I voted for the second...but that comes with the third. Those ships are for one: ugly (the originals anyways), for two: meant for trucks and for three: single ramped...WAY too much hassle for two years. They might as well cancel the Super "C" orders if they were to buy those beaters. Why is P&O selling them anyway? Getting out of the ferry business?

i think it would be better to get some large (200 Car or greater) Ro - ro similar to the Osprey 2000, They would be more versitle, and be able to operate on almost every run

well, I would not like the P&O Ferries here, but you could build a few seacats:  And then get some more minors, like the Quinsam, Osprey and the Cappie, but each a little longer. A long hovercraft would be a good idea,  they were pretty fast, because of the propellors being in the air like a plane, unless they are outdated. Hovercrafts were the best, although I never saw them. |

Not a Bad Idea would be good for Hs Bay-Nanaimo but It depends how big a capacity it has if it had 150 to 200 it could be used on PR-Comox or something like that problem is they aren't double enders
