The ferry “Oglasa” was built in Palermo, Sicily, in 1980 and usually links the port of Piombino, 100 kilometers south of Livorno, with Portoferraio, on the island of Elba.
The ship, called with the old name of the island of Montecristo, arrived here in late January for the usual maintenance works and an extra fix to the bow.

Great series! Did they crash the bow? I like how you led us through these and then, good as new!
As good as new. Interesting to see the separation of the bow panel in the 3rd photo.
The Feb 12 photo made me smile — looks so much like a piece of clothing being mended. The 'stitching' is similar. Not quite as easy to do though, I'm sure.
Thanks for the series. She looks almost brand new now.
This boat has lovely & graceful lines! And the work looked like no small job!
Amazing how they fix that up.
They did a great job fixing it!
Fantastic! Looks ship shape to me.
That first pic is fantastic, and the following ones kinda scary. Wow, what happened to her bow?
Did I ever tell you? In '68 I boarded the good ship "Enotria" in Genoa.

A nice way to show good work! :-)
Like a TV series in three parts.
@ ciel - Or “Pimp My Ferry”...
Really nice to see the different stages of the repair!
God bless you!

I love this series. It gives me hope that even the biggest bumps and crashes can be mended.
Beautiful Series !!
wow you'd never know the Pilot crashed into the dock a few times. I see nothing---I know nothing. MB
Looks good as new now :D
This is really interesting. Great idea for a post!
Great repair job! From the angle you took this I can hardly tell there had been a problem.
I mean, in the bottom photo I can hardly tell there had been a problem. :)
I'm amazed they were able to fix it in a little less than three weeks.
Brand new! :-)
Yes, I would say it needed some extra fixing. It was really interesting to see the process. Nice shots of the series.
Great series, the difference between feb 12th and feb 24th is huge! All new and shiny in the end :)
This ship certainly collided with something - lucky it didn't sink. I thought that hole was for cars to drive in - silly me. Great photos.
