As I recall ,Wightlinks St Catherine (which has been laid up at Hythe for some time now) was reported sold to a european owner a few months ago since when nothing further has been heard. I visit the Comar systems ais site fairly regularly and she has not even appeared on there, presumably as the ais has been switched off. However today she is again showing at Hythe with the information Destination Portsmouth ETD 14.10 04/06/2010. . There is no report of any movement on the Southampton vts site but does anyone have any information?. Why have they switched the ais on again after all this time, and is she sailing to her new owners on 4th June, if so why via Portsmouth. Is it just because they have switched the ais back on for some reasonand have to show something. I can't believe she is to return to service as she would need some sort of drydocking and refit (at Southampton?) first.
Any ideas?
