Bow thurster Vs Stern thruster

[ChrisPy]

mykaskin,

 

Just a few questions....

 

Where do you moor "The Pride of Hull", and as she sounds like a widebeam do you always contact BW before navigating through tunnels?

 

Is she over the 20metres such that she may need radar/nav lights under this new EU scheme?

 

Have you had the sign writing done locally to Hull, what about roses and castles? How about posting some pics.

 

Assuming they bowtrusters are Vetus I must have a couple of pages missing in the catalogue as the largest I can see is 15kw and that is 24volt. I presume your electrics are 24v as well.

I think she must be a dutch barge 'cos she's got a sister ship in Rotterdam.

 

but 22knots is a bit much for the canals, innit?

The Pride of Hull is a P&O cruse ferry....
