I used to work for Arklow Shipping as master on a couple of their ships and they were/are a very well run efficient company although some of their ships are registered in Holland so I believe some of their financial backing comes from there. True ASL don’t run ferries but I’m sure if they chartered one or two then they would be run at a profit and the bosses at Seaborne would have been given very short thrift if they never did there bit … the ‘lady’ who ran ASL could be a right nasty piece of work if you upset her, which I did a couple of times … hence now working for someone else !!!
