Ferry from Portsmouth - Portimão Portugal (1 Viewer)

[EuroTrotters]

I was talking to a motorist whilst waiting to unload Cap Finistere.

He suggested that there are plans for P&O to start a new ROPAX service to
Portimão

?

I can't see it myself

They would have to build a suitable ship first so can't see it happening.

Why do you say that. Huge cruise ships have been going to Praia da Rocha (Portimão) for yonks. I am guessing that the port can cope with a car ferry.

I am talking about P & O not having a suitable ship to do the job, unless they move one from the North Sea ferry route they don't have one. Never mentioned the port.

True, but I guess a North Sea ferry would cope with the route well.

I have searched for a good.....5 minutes on Google and can find nothing to indicate that they (P&O) are planning a route direct to Portugal.

It is possible for P&O to charter a ferriy but I don't suppose there is a very big market for suitable vessels.

A wave piercing Ferry Liner!

you might be surprised to hear that there are various ferries for sale or to lease around the world. many with a suitable configuration to suit the route. if the contracts can be signed, there is no reason the service cant start within months

WHATS THE POINT? I thought motorhomes are for driving, like Touring from site to site, seeing places on route, taking different routes. Fly to your holiday location and stay in a luxury apartment, much cheaper option.

Wonder what the link is between Cap Finistere which i believe is a BRITTANY ship and P&O ? BUSBY,,

Well I have never seen a ferry loaded with just motorhomes!

None, we were docking on Cap Finistere into Bilabo. He was parked next to us on the card deck in his car, we were in our car. I guessed he was bull*******

I'm a freelance shipping writer and photographer. My information is that P&O Ferries is further expanding its “sea bridge” network following an agreement with Finnlines that offers ro-ro services from Zeebrugge to Bilbao and Santander.
