European Seaway at Gdansk for Repairs
During EUROPEAN CAUSEWAY‘s absence, the service between Cairnryan and Larne has been maintained solely by part-sister EUROPEAN HIGHLANDER. EUROPEAN SEAWAY had been originally expected to cover, but following an incident in Dunkerque this plan was shelved. The latter vessel was seen leaving Dunkerque under the tow of the tug FAIRPLAY 33 on September 17th. FAIRPLAY 33 with EUROPEAN SEAWAY in tow arrived at Gdansk on Wednesday (25.09.19). At Gdansk it is expected that ‘Seaway’ will be repaired before returning to the Dover Strait.
