var inte lätt att se vilket, men ser ut som 20xx serien

Exactly, I totally agree! - It was always about quality in the old days. Finnjet of 1977 could reach 33 knots, now 42 years later this so-called "fast ferry" Visborg cannot do more than 28.5 knots?? Ferry innovation has clearly become less impressive through the years :(

Well, I do not see China capable of delivering quality (otherwise the project would become as expensive as an European yard, which probably makes it unnecessary to construct vessels in China in the first place). Korea, on the other hand, has made some really nice ships! - Blue Star Patmos is no exception. Korea seems to delivers much better and more reliable products than China, in addition to having better working conditions at the yards and being a democratic country. Although Asian built vessels polute a whole lot on their way to either Europe or the Americas, I think we all can agree that the Japanese ships are of the best quality and finish. The Japanese ferries are running for ages without any issues, while even Finnish and German vessels could have some problems or engines fires from one time to another. All in all, it is sad to see that Destination Gotland (and many other operators) are going in for budget projects, rather than investing in revolutionary and long lasting ships. Color Line's Magic and Fantasy, as well as the SuperSpeeds show that proper work is the key. Even today, Color is turning away from China with their European-built "Color Hybrid", and even admitted that their investment was quite pricey. So it is all about willingness to buy quality, and consequently offering their customers the best :)

@@---lu7cw are you talking to yourself?

@@---lu7cw destination gotland kinda also agrees. i was working there during my PRAO and they said if they buy a new ship in the future, its gonna be from Germany. they weren't really happy with the quality and the ship.
