Forums Forums Street News Royal Daffodil ferry - moved?

The Mersey Ferry 'Royal Daffodil' has been laid-up at Duke St bridge for a few years now, due to cost cutting measures and rumours of being up for sale.

Yesterday, Tuesday 31st May, she wasn't there. No sign of her on Ships AIS either.
I'm sure she was there last week.

Anybody know what's happening?

Its gone into Cammell Laird's to get some work done.

Royal Daffodil looking rather tatty as she is towed to Cammell Laird yesterday for hull survey

info was on twitter

She's a bit low in the water considering she is empty.

Thanks DD.

I thought it looked a bit low as well, and had been getting lower over the past couple of months.

There is another locally built asset going to rust, disrepair, disappear...

Thanks Ed, but I don't do Twitter.

Yes she been in for a clean and hull survey did hear the rumour but it is not supposed to be true plus she is still under merseytravels control as they have been in every day
