Today was a triumphant day for ferry operator kystlink, as today they took delivery of thier newest ferry Alkmini A.

The ferry which origionaly operated by steana line and later P&O ferries, was bought in 2004 for £186 million, after nearly a year and a haf of refublishment and set backs the ferry has finaly enterd service.

The launch marks kystlinks entrance to the cruise ferry market, as the Alkmini can become a cruise ship if need be.

Plans are to send the ship on a short 2 hour crossing in the baltic sea, from Norway to Denmark in the winter and select cruiser in the summer.

The ship is only 153 meters long and 28 meters wide, but can cruise at a top speed of 21 knots.

This afternoon the Alkmini was taken on sea trails and after completing these sucessfuly the ship will return to full service in the baltic.

LOL i got a good card but that sim is about 8 years old or some where in that region and its not realistic its more of a muck around, i use it alot to create stories like this.

I think the best story i ever did make was the one about the americans putting in an offer to buy a russian alfa class submarine, i had so many believers.

Okay Kapitan,

Here’s the deal … they only made seven of these babies and
All of them have been mothballed … no longer in active service.

But a bottle of vodka can get you a peek at one tied up at the Pacific Fleet
Headquarters in Vladivostok.…
He finally agreed to meet him with a floating dry dock
off one of the Aleutian Islands.

"Where's that darn floating dry dock at?"
"Somebody check to see if those are real diamonds"
