#CabinRefit -Passengers travelling on Seatruck Ferries Dublin-Liverpool freight ro-ro vessels Seatruck Power and Seatruck Progress, the final pair from an original quartet of 'Heysham-Max' newbuilds, have now the added convenience of two single beds on ground level.

No longer will drivers have to climb to share a bunk bed facility. Added privacy has been gained with the benefit of a folding curtain which can be pulled along the centre of the cabin to separate the two beds. New carpets were also fitted to add a final finish to the refit.

The refit Seatruck say is to enhance passenger privacy and bring a more personal touch to the overall passenger experience.

Seatruck is primarily a freight-carrier, operating Dublin-Liverpool, Dublin-Heysham and Warrenpoint-Heysham. However, they cater for a limited number of passengers travelling with their cars or motorhomes. For more details visit this link.
