Page "Red Funnel" Paragraph 29

Red Jet 3 was built new for Red Funnel by FBM Marine of Cowes in 1998.

She was followed in 2003 by the somewhat larger Red Jet 4, a new building by North West Bay Ships of Tasmania.

Red Jet 5, by contrast, was a second-hand acquisition in 2009 ; she was originally built in 1999 by Pequot River Shipworks of Connecticut to the same FBM design as Red Jet 3.

This vessel was previously known as the Bo Hengy, and was operated by Bahamas Ferries until 2008.
