Ferry firm ready for Easter and busy summer
Wightlink invests £6million in the upkeep of its fleet every year
More than 700 litres of paint has been used to spruce up one of Wightlink's ferries.
Wight Sun has arrived back at Lymington after its annual refit in Falmouth.
The ferry firm says it's fleet is now ready for Easter and the summer season.
“Every ship and FastCat in our fleet has spent time in dry dock this season and they look magnificent,” says Wightlink Chief Executive Keith Greenfield. “Our engineers and crew take great pride in keeping their vessels in good order, ready to welcome customers.”
Wightlink invests £6million in the upkeep of its fleet every year.
One of the main tasks for Wight Sun’s refit crew of seven this year was to remove, refurbish and replace one of the ship’s propellers.
They also used more than 700 litres of paint and anti-fouling for the hull to keep her looking smart throughout the summer.
