Stenna HSS

Boarded the Stenna ferry and waiting departure from Belfast Harbour we are berthed alongside the HSS Voyager. The HSS (High Speed Service) design was the world's biggest high speed ferry. Its space age shape and Star Trek-style bridge was only matched by the fact that the name of one of the captains really was Captain Kirk.
But as time would prove, it had two Achilles heels. One was its limited freight capacity while the other was the cost of running it. 1996 - 2011
