With the end of the cruise season and the lower passenger traffic, the large ferries are back in the “Porto Mediceo”. The 212 meter “Mega Express Three” is the younger of the lot: she was launched in South Korea in 2001.
The 170 meter “Mega Express Five” saw her first water in Japan in 1993, while the 153 meter “Moby Corse”, a Dane by birth, has been around since 1978.Search labels: ferry
I love feries because I know they will ever take me to a nice island :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely, yellow vessel. I would love to take a ride.
ReplyDeleteAlways two hands of water beneath their keel, and a good new season as well.
ReplyDeletePlease have a nice new week.

Nice shots. I'll bet it's huge in person.
ReplyDeleteThere's been a murder again in Corsica.
ReplyDeleteSuch huge ferries. I'd love to sail on one, even without a car.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are way different than the ferries over here.

They are huge and handsome:)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
This is a HUGE ferry! How smart to paint them yellow so they can be seen under most weather conditions.
ReplyDeleteThose are impressive ferries. Where do they go?
ReplyDeleteThey're still amazing machines.
ReplyDeleteWow, huge! Reminder of happy holidays in the sun.
ReplyDeleteSuch color too!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a lot of cars. Wow!! MB
ReplyDeleteBorn in Japan like me! I don't think I've seen a ferry so huge here though :-)
ReplyDeleteYou won't miss this in the fog! Great colour.
