Ferry stops off for an overhaul
A NEW ferry contract has sailed into a South Tyneside yard.
Pride of Calais, owned by P&O Ferries, is at the A&P Tyne yard, Hebburn, for general repairs and a technical overhaul.
A yard spokesman said: "This 1987-built roll-on, roll-off ferry, which trades between Dover and Calais, is in for annual dry-docking refit over a 12-day period, including hull survey and hull and superstructure surface preparation and painting."
Additional works on the ferry will include shipside valve survey, life-saving appliance surveys and ships' tanks survey.
Last week, Quentin Davies MP, Minister for Defence Equipment and Support, visited A&P Tyne, to officially launch building work on HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first of two Royal Navy aircraft carriers.
