The cabins looked like this.

It appears the ship may not return to the Brindisi-Vlore route this year. Does anyone know what the future holds?

Sorry for posting in English. We need to remember how much of a competitive disadvantage Stena UK have in personnel costs compared to their rivals. P&O at Cairnryan, Irish Ferries at Holyhead and Fishguard both use low-cost, non-unionised crews. Stena have rightly committed to retaining their current crewing arrangements but that costs them millions more every year. Maintaining their business in those circumstances is really challenging and I can understand why they have to keep on top of all their costs, brutal as it may be at times, simply to try and remain competitive.

In support of what Nick is saying (this is Antares). The ships also have a lower hold for freight.

Below is the ship's itinerary from summer 2004. Does anybody know if this was the same in 2003, the first year with Saos Ferries?

Here we have a plan of Patris in its dual Karageorgis/Chandris period. -
The ship's exterior was styled by Kay Korbing no less and has quite a bit of nice detailing when looked at closely and in the original colours.

Here is a jpeg of the ship as Vilum Clausen.

Not a GA plan but a plan of the ship as Hankyu No. 16 -
The company is seeking to change the crewing arrangements to "live-on-board" two weeks on/two weeks off. So it would be to move in line with almost every other major ferry operator around the UK but obviously a big change if crews are used to going ashore and seeing family every day. It really is nothing like the P&O situation... the Steam Packet is now controlled by the Isle of Man government and I find it highly unlikely they would do anything like what P&O did. The discussion between the union and the company is now playing out in the press which is not going to be helpful unless it is just grandstanding by the union to get the best deal.

Thank you all for the very helpful and useful information.

Apologies for writing in English, does anybody know this year's Salamis timetables? Also will this operation be running on Wednesday when the strike is on?

Another ship likely to head to Croatia - Jadrolinija will probably buy it for €12m. I suppose this would be a nice profit for the shipowner.

Here is a little tour of the Rusadir together with some historic context (in English) around her design - https://hhvferry.com/blog/?p=7669

I think it is the Official Carrier of the Moomins logo that the other Silja ships have.
