"MALO SEAWAYS", new ferry on the Dover / Calais service














"MALO SEAWAYS" is the new DFDS ferry operating on the Dover to Calais service, she is named after Malo, located in the Dunkirk area in France, the ship was originally built in Japan by Mitsubishi Heavy Industry in Japan in 2000 as the EUROPEAN AMBASSADOR for P & O Irish Sea to be operated on the Liverpool to Dublin route, in 2004 she was sold to STENA LINA and renamed STENA NORDICA, she is now on charter with DFDS to replace the DIEPPE SEAWAYS. "MALO SEAWAYS" is 24.206 G.T. with capacity for about 400 passengers and 375 cars, she has been in service only for a week, last Sunday was my first trip on the ship, she is more of a freighter with very simple passenger amenities with very reasonable amounts of open deck spaces.
