FROM today SuperSeaCat starts twice-daily sailings between Liverpool and Dublin, going out at 8am and 5.45pm.
SuperSeaCat Two has just had a refit at Wright and Beyer, Bidston.
Then from April 8 a brand new SuperSeaCat Three will operate the same route to Ireland. This craft has just been completed at the Fincantieri shipyard in Spain and should be the largest monohull high-speed ferry to operate in UK waters. It promises 'Blue Riband' standards of service and offers passengers a chance to stock up on duty free.
Fares for foot passengers start at £19 for a day return, while there are special offers for a car plus passengers. Reservations can be made on 08705-523523.
