NOTE: The current ferries have a shortage of spaces for vehicles and/or vans over 2.1m to meet the demand for this period. The new and larger ferries are scheduled to replace the existing ferries in October. The new ferries do come with larger capacity for all vehicles over 2.1m high but due to the hype of the newer vessels demand maybe greater also. Bookings for January start at the end of the month so with that in mind it is proposed to hold a meeting end of Jan or early Feb with all those people that are interested in the trip.
