An unusual caller to Fairview Cove today – Trica arrived this morning from Vlissingen. the Netherlands flagged RO-RO vessel was built in 2007, and can also carry 670TEU on deck fore and aft.

Im told the ship will be discharging 350 vehicles. Trica was originally supposed to call at Autoport, but Autoport requires a ramp that can swing to the dock, Trica’s ramp only goes straight back.

Transfennica is part of the Spliethoff Group, and normally operates in the Baltic and North Seas, providing a similar type of service to that area as Oceanex does. Trica more closely resembles a ferry in many ways, with an exposed ro-ro deck.

She is Scheduled to sail at 4:30
