Monday brings the Maiden Call of Atlantic Sky, which was accepted from the builders at the end of March. This means 4/5 of the new g4 vessels are in operation, with Atlantic Sun still not accepted from the builders. The first vessel, Atlantic Star was recently drydocked, and it appears the second – Atlantic Sail may be undergoing work at the moment.
