Interesting - in what way has she been found wanting, especially in heavy weather? She is the ex-"Fjord Norway", "Spirit of Tasmania" "Peter Pan", isn't she? I know that when Brittany Ferries bought sistership "Nils Holgersson" and renamed her "Val de Loire", they increased the height of her fore end before putting her on the route Plymouth-Santander across the Bay of Biscay. Is her "wanting" situation related to head seas, I wonder.

From what I understood she was underpowered and couldn't maintain the schedule especially in challenging weather. The North Sea can be quite nasty at times.
