What I don’t understand is that there are ships in service today constructed in the 1970/80s .These vessels were constructed in the mid-late 90s and now they are scrapped.

@irelandbloke 4 года назад

Yeah I don't get that myself. What a waste !

@@irelandbloke It might be safety reasons, we will never know.

Superb video .. Ive been on 2 hss's before .. stena hss discovery( i think .. was only a little child lol in a car) and on the hss voyager in a lorry .. but sadly the the discovery and the voyager have been sold on .. as far as i know the voyager has been sold to a called FerryMar .. where there based i do not know .. its sad to see the voyager and the discovery go but at least theve kept the explorer .. For now anyway .. lol

I wonder how long this great vessel will last on this route. Great video

@jammyjammingtonjam 6 лет назад

This ship was a monster! It is the size of a small-med cruiser yet capable of 50knots and covered moderately rough seas. Nothing competed technology wise! Admittedly not my favourite ship (my favourite are the superfast X and the Oscar Wilde), but I was still very sad to see it go! I guess it was just too thirsty...

@irelandbloke 6 лет назад

Indeed she was, I'm just glad I had a few trips on her ! :)

@jammyjammingtonjam 6 лет назад

irelandbloke I'm glad I did too. Ps. Thanks for documenting this ship with these videos! Tis a great contribution to the history records.

@irelandbloke 6 лет назад

You're very welcome, thanks for watching !

Incat leaves all others in their wake. A far better boat, bigger and faster.

@josephwong5755 9 лет назад

Nice video! I had always wanted to try out the HSS since I read about it many years ago. I finally got that chance a few years ago to travel on Stena Voyager round trip Stranraer - Belfast. I wonder how the HSS performance and economics compare to one of the more recent GT fast ferries, namely Buquebus Francisco from Incat and using the same LM2500 GT.

@irelandbloke 8 лет назад

+Joseph Wong Probably far inferior to the modern ships I suspect !

@livelifelikeellie2702 7 лет назад

The HSS was brilliant! Favourite Stena Line boat by far as I have been on all on them, the HSS was the one I was on all the time since it went from Belfast to Stranraer, well used to so I was on it a lot going to Scotland, I don't know where it goes now but I was sad to see it leave

@irelandbloke 7 лет назад

Yeah it's a shame that she's gone :(

R.I.P. HSS

@fernandosantosacordionista4010 2 года назад

muito bom

@irelandbloke 11 лет назад

Thank you. I haven't heard anything but I suspect her days are numbered :(

@irelandbloke 11 лет назад

Thank you, I expect the Explorer won't last too much longer on this route either. I hope I'm wrong though :(

@darachrean 9 лет назад

i stand to be corrected but i thought the hss was more like 1500 tonne!! if i remember correctly what it used to say on the hss model box! anyone????

@irelandbloke 9 лет назад

HSS 1500 is the model name but they weigh just under 20 thousand tonnes :)

@darachrean 9 лет назад

thats alot of aluminium lol.....great video

@irelandbloke 9 лет назад

lol Thanks a lot :)

@jasonvick3794 5 лет назад

Probably more like 12-15 tonnes

Stena explorer good ferry

@mrjunior41 9 лет назад

I think this ferry is here in curacao for more than 6 month's now

@irelandbloke 9 лет назад

That's the HSS Discovery. I think the HSS Explorer is moored in Holyhead at the moment :)

@GamingCentral-zf1zj 7 лет назад

Just saying now that the IoM Steam Packet co. Own the biggest fast ferry on the Irish seas

@scaniaV8topline1 11 лет назад

But the routes i was on was Belfast - Stranraer

@keltthomas6087 8 лет назад

if i remember rightshe was docked in holyhead for a good few month about 2 or 3 years ago looked in real bad shape

@irelandbloke 8 лет назад

That rings a bell alright

@keltthomas6087 8 лет назад

to get to the loading ramp at the ships you had to drive around explorer to get there every time i passed her she looked bad and there was noone ever working on it so i dont know what the problem was

@katfletcher1426 7 лет назад

Stena ferry ha?

@rosheenmaher4912 6 лет назад

Good Horn Sound There

@scaniaV8topline1 11 лет назад

@jfjoubertquebec 4 года назад

Could this be used to cross the Atlantic?

@irelandbloke 4 года назад

I think the Atlantic would be far to rough for this type of ship

@neiltitmus9744 4 года назад

Only if you choose your days very carefully

@neiltitmus9744 4 года назад

The other one did it as a one off and broke the record
