good day. recently i was on board of the Irish vessel Clontarf, and i learned that this compagny did also the management of my former(as captain) vessel. At present it is named Clonmore. I was suprised to find a few good picture on your site. Hopefully she will call Rotterdam more often since i 'am a nautical pilot at te rotterdam region now for three years. By the way the former name of the Clonmore was 'Banjaard' and not 'Banjadd'as you stated on your site. All the best with your site and i hope to visit it more often. Good luck. Reinier Verschoor

Hello. I love the website especially the photos of the Norse Merchant ferries. Can’t wait to see some more of their new ship Lagan Viking. It looks amazing especially the upper car deck. PS If you ever need any help with the web/graphic design then give us a shout.

Have there been any announcements regarding Norse Merchant Ferries future, especially on the Dudlin route? This was undoubtedly the best Irish Sea crossing I have encountered in 42 years of private travel, if a little expensive. The P and O passenger service from Seaforth is appalling and no alternative at all. Equally I have not seen any mention of the service cutbacks in the local media. Quite a contrast to when 12 Quays was opened. I wonder why?

Good Website, but I find the detail in the voyage reports a little ridiculus, EG " left 11 minutes behind scedule" and "Passesd the Baily at16.03".Completly irrelevant. I think your audience may find the actual information on the ship more interesting as oppossed to unknown ships that are noticed a considerable distance away...

An additional bonus is the advice on maritime radio, I will now be looking for a scanner to enhance my enjoyment of this new-found hobby, I will also need a nice anorak !!

She looked stunning as she docked at 22:30 well illuminated with both masthead lights and running lights spotted well out to sea.

What an interesting site! As an ex-mariner that has considerable knowledge of the Irish Sea ( I joined my first ship, the M.V. Citrine in the Pigeon House Dock at aged 16 in 1953, and ran coal from Garston and Whitehaven to the power station for a couple of years) and I find the site meets the requirements of nostalgics like myself.

Splendid web site. On a visit to liverpool I saw the tanker Channel Dragon and as always I was over awed by her physical size and majesty. Not the prettiest of ships I dare say, but there's no denying she's very definately a mans man ship. My researching her, drew me to this site. Keep up the good work.

For a Wavertree-Crosby ex-pat, your site looks just fine from here in Caracas. My purposes are more nostalgic than professional but I do have a book, being the diary of Robert Ker Porter, British plenipotentiary here from 1825 to 1842. He spent half his time sending and receiving dispatches that arrived on paque-boats, '....that sailed from Liverpool', time and again. That was just after the 1824 régime change, Bolivar and so on. Liverpool has its timelessness and the M&ISS would be a part of its chronicling. A very good part, I felt. Best An' All!

I like your blurb on the Star of India (ex Euturpe), few minor corrections, she is always ready to sail in 90 days. She sails regularily, 3 times in 2002, twice scheduled in 2003 (November for her 140th). She began her new career with an inagural sail in 1976 (not 1973) and she is at the San Diego Maritime Museum (not the World Maritime Museum) She has a full sail and maintenance crew who put in over 17,000 hours a year on her. I am glad to say is in excellent shape. Visitors always welcome at the San DIego Maritime Museum, home to one of the finest collections of historic vessels in the world (all operating)(http://www.sdmaritime.com/index.asp

My father was a Captain for Elder Dempster Shipping Line and I have very fond memories, as a young lad, of going down to the docks to spend time onboard; wandering around the ship, eating with the crew and soaking up the sights and smells. This was in the 60's and 70's. Ships he was master of included several of the F-class and O-class ships amongst many others. He finished his career as master of a couple of the A-class passenger ships, I think the Apapa and the Aureol from a distant memory. This website brought lots of memories flooding back to me. Thank you.

Isaiah Weaver of Ireland is in our family tree. He married Isabel Herron - daughter of a shipping company owner. In the 1880 census they were living in or near Liverpool. Since my husband loves sailing and boats in general, I would love to have a picture of any of the ships that Isaiah, a merchant mariner, owned - or that were owned by his father-in-law. I believe the company was called, John Herron and Company. I am descended from Hans Weaver of Ireland who trekked hundreds of miles with a wife and children to settle here in Oregon in 1853. We are also celebrating that trip this summer (150 years) and the picture would be wonderful to show to the relatives. Thank you, Shirley Weaver Sipler Salem, Oregon USA

Visited site looking for up to date map of the dock area, and also hoping to find a web cam of the dock area - someone should install one. Pity about Blue Water Marine going into Administration - should not have happened. (Blue Water owned the Merchant Boats sailing from the new terminal at 12 Quays, and previously from Brocklebank Dock) i thought Stena, Irish Ferries or P & O would grab the ships and terminal (Beautiful Terminal) but if what is said about directional signs is right might be best to sort that first??!!

We had the pleasure of travelling with John Luxton on Saturday 15 March 03, on a SeaCat to Dublin. We were due to arrive back in Liverpool at 19:30, however, due to technical problems, we were routed back via Holyhead on a Stena Line Ferry, eventually arriving back in Liverpool by coach at 03:20 next day! A day trip, turned adventure, finally becomming an epic!!

Have there been any announcements regarding Norse Merchant Ferries future, especially on the Dudlin route? This was undoubtedly the best Irish Sea crossing I have encountered in 42 years of private travel, if a little expensive. The P and O passenger service from Seaforth is appalling and no alternative at all. Equally I have not seen any mention of the service cutbacks in the local media. Quite a contrast to when 12 Quays was opened. I wonder why?

I often wonder if all the troubles with Norse Merchant Ferries are inter-connected in some way? For me personally, I used to use the Liverpool-Dublin service most weekends. Not anymore. I haven't used the service since it transferred to Twelve Quays. And one of the things I've noticed (ironically, driving back from Holyhead ferry port usually!!!) is the lack of directional information on the M53 for the new terminal. A simple way to loose traffic perhaps? Then there's the transfer of "Dawn Merchant" to Norfolk Line, practically halving the number of sailings between Dublin and Liverpool each week. With the IOM Seacat on its Winter holidays also, P&O must be laughing all the way to the bank. I only started using the P&O Liverpool-Dublin service a few months ago, and I kick myself why I didn't before. Cabin and your food, can't go wrong!!!! If Norse Merchant are forced to pull the plug on their services from Liverpool, there's a golden opportunity for someone else to take over. Irish Ferries or Stena Line maybe????
