P&O Ferries to invest in the 30-year old Zeebrugge ferries
Ferry P&O Ferries will spend £8.5 million (€9.97 million) on upgrading the two 1987-built ships on its Hull-Zeebrugge route in a move which guarantees the future of the ro-pax service into the next decade.
The PRIDE OF YORK and the PRIDE OF BRUGES - two 32,000 GT sister vessels which can carry up to 880 passengers on their overnight sailings - will benefit from the much-needed major investment in their physical infrastructure and passenger areas. The objective is to provide first class eating, drinking and shopping areas for freight customers and tourist passengers to enjoy during the 12-hour voyage.
This major investment will be carried out at the Remontowa shipyard in Poland.
