Sydney Ferries Emerald Class Ferry (Jianlong Shipbuilding Co)

Having travelled on a few ferries on recent visits to Sydney, I decided it was time to see what the latest ferries being used on the Manly ferry service are like. Noting that the new Manly ferries have been the subject of discussions for some time, I thought it was time to go and check one out, and see what I thought, beyond the news stories and comments sections. Having caught the new Emerald class ferries both to and from Manly, I was quite happy to catch the Emeralds. Sure, they can't compete on nostalgia, but these vessels do offer a lot, and I was quite impressed witrh them on my travels. I'll take a seperate look at the Incat built vessels at another time, so keep your eyes peeled for those!
