North
Sea Ferries have provided services between Hull
and Rotterdam Europort in The Netherlands and Zeebrugge in Belgium since
the 1960's. In 1996 they were bought by P&O and renamed
P&O North Sea Ferries. Two new super ferries currently
under construction for the Dutch route, so this article takes the opportunity
to review the recent history of the company. |
