City Of St Petersburg

Does anyone know if this ship is due back into the Tyne in the near future, It is the futuristic looking ship that brought the Nissan Leaf car in.

Thanks in advance

Looks likely as now fairly regular to Newcastle - six calls so far this year.

Hi Jonathan

The City of St Petersberg is now a regular visitor to the Tyne, reports are Pilots are not keen on her futuristic bridge as due to it being round, visability of the bow area during docking is limited.

are these reports "first hand" and "firm" ?...

I feel quite opposite...

I was onboard and visibility is good...
despite using "polsteam" for my nick I have NO personal (professional) or business connections with the company of the same name

Hi Jonathan

For your information we now have the sister ship of the City of St Petersberg the City of Rotterdam doing trips to the Tyne for Nissan.

Futuristic?
The bridge reminds me of many of the 'futuristic' cargo and passengers ships built in the early 50s with similar bridges/accommodation.
