MS Pride of Canterbury
MS ''Pride of Canterbury'' is a cross-channel ferry operated by P&O Ferries between Dover and Calais.
==History==
MS ''Pride of Canterbury'' was the second of four 'European Class' freight ferries ordered for P&O European Ferries' Dover-Zeebrugge route. Between 1992 and 2002 she sailed between Dover and Zeebrugge for P&O European Ferries and later P&O Stena Line. She was converted in the winter of 2002/spring 2003 and re-entered service as ''Pride of Canterbury'' (replacing the ageing ''P&OSL Canterbury''). She currently sails from Dover to Calais.〔(Dover Ferry Photos - European Pathway/Pride of Canterbury )〕
On 31 January 2008 she struck the wreck of 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Report on the investigation into the grounding of Pride of Canterbury ) Although it is unclear whether the wreck referred to in the MAIB report is that of the ''SS Mahratta (1892)'' or a later vessel of the same name which also wrecked on the Goodwin Sands.〕 while manoeuvering into The Downs off the Kent coast during heavy weather. The collision caused the loss of one of her propellers and damaged the prop shaft and gear box.〔(MAIB - Current Investigations )〕 Although she was able to sail to Dover unaided, the ferry required assistance berthing.〔 Following emergency repairs in Falmouth she returned to service operating with only 1 propeller. As a result she was unable to operate in rough weather and was frequently laid up in Dover or sheltering off the Kent coast waiting for the wind to drop. The ferry was due to be drydocked at a European repair yard in November 2008 to be fitted with a new propeller with a view to being back in service for the Christmas 2008 period. The vessel is now back in service again on the Dover to Calais route.
On 29 September 2014 a fire broke out in the engine room at around 8am as it arrived into Calais. A P&O spokesman said "It was extinguished by the ship's fire protection system i.e. the sprinklers. Nobody has been injured and the ship disembarked all the passengers safely. The stricken ferry is expected to be out of service for at least a few days, and will be taken to Arno Shipyard in Dunkerque for repairs. To make up for the missing ship, P&O said the Pride of Burgundy will increase its services from three to five, and passengers should check in as normal. 〔http://www.kentonline.co.uk/dover/news/fire-on-channel-ferry-24235/〕
