The company
said yesterday, 'Swansea Cork Ferries will ensure that any
deficiencies raised by the MCA will be fully addressed by the ship's
owners to the satisfaction of the MCA and ourselves.
'The ship's owners have sourced training providers to deal with
the issues that have been raised, including the provision of a
refresher course for qualified first-aid personnel on board, and we
anticipate that the ship will sail from Swansea on Thursday night.
The City of Cork is the only ferry that travels between Swansea
and Cork and can carry 1,200 passengers.
In March the ferry was in dock for six days after it failed a
mandatory inspection by the MCA which found 'a lack of preparedness
as demonstrated in fire drills, full muster, abandon-ship and
damage-control drill'.
