Here is the second part of our series on the morning traffic in our port. You can find the first post
here.
At 6:08 AM another ferry comes from Sardinia: the “Mega Andrea”. Still outside the breakwater we can already see the cruise ship “
Norwegian Epic”, our next entry.
This ferry was built in 1986 by Wärtsilä Helsinki Shipyard, Finland as “Wellamo” for the Silja Line. In 1992 she became “Silja Festival” and since last April entered service for
Corsica Ferries as “Mega Andrea”. Her sister ship, the “
Mega Smeralda”, has been in service since June 2008.

Glad I'm not responsible for navigating these mammoth ships into and out of port. :-)
That is a very large ferry boat. Movement in and out of port must take considerable concentration on the part of a large crew. That also seems to be a very large cruise ship. All these people arriving at one time must overwhelm your town.
"Mega" is the right word !
Beautiful ferry !
Lots of tourists arriving!
This is a ferry company I would trust as the boat seems to be in excellent condition. Ut sure is HUGE!
Ha! Only 'woman' I know that you can probably get away with calling her 'mega'. Poor Andrea.
I famosi traghetti gialli! Ciao, Arianna
Birdman - In Italian Andrea is only a male name...
I bet it is fascinating to watch these huge boats come and go.
Love the Mega Andrea shot with the white capped person looking out. Crew?
A giant! And, so very yellow! :)
A fine-looking ship!
ciel - He has epaulets and white shoes, so I think he is an officer...
Nice to see yellow big ship. Most of ships here are red or white or blue.
I think I would like to sit and watch the comings and goings in your harbour VP.. Is that another big cruiser I see coming a bit behind there?
Quite a bright yellow!
I like these images, each one of them.
Interesting posting.
Great bright colour on MEGA ANDREA.
I like the looks of this ferry. It might be the paint job that draws my eye.
