Hello everyone.
Read in the newspaper VG today about a problem regarding the new ferries thats beeing buildt for the westcoast of norway. For pictures, have a look:

It seems that the boulbous bow is causing problems. They are due to start their service in tree weeks time, and now the ferries and the quays doesnt fit together. The boulb is ninety cm long.  Apparantly the quay is to short.
It seems that the boulb might hit into the the safetybeams of the quay. Nice...
The ferries cost 1.2 bilion kroner. and the new quays 230 million.

Hello....
