NI Ferry Enthusiasts visit Stena Superfast VII at Harland & Wolff.

On Monday 20th of March 2017, a group of 5 ferry enthusiasts and photographers from the NI Ferry (and shipping) Enthusiasts Facebook group visited Stena Superfast VII in dry dock at the invitation of Stena Line.

Many of the following photographs have already been published on NIFS during the Stena Line dry dock updates.  However, it is intended to add more photographs, showing slightly different perspectives, from the other photographers present on the day.  With thanks to Diane Poole OBE and Harland & Wolff for making our visit possible, and of course Senior Master Capt. Alastair McCarlie (Stena Superfast VII) for being our very informative guide.
