"Rheine Astrid" Oostende. Belgium. 1989.
(Apologies for a poor quality image its a scanned print which for some reason goes fuzzy when scanned, most annoying despite trying it several times I will hopefully sole the problem and re-upload at some point)
RMT/RTM operated "Rheine Astrid" is seen going hard astern to leave the dock at Oostende with the 10.00 sailing to Dover. This ferry was one of four regulars on this route which was a four hour crossing. The "Rheine Astrid" wasn't the best of the fleet and in later years was known unkindly by the regular travellers as the 'Rancid Astrid and often seemed to be on the 22.45 sailing from Dover. Others ships in the Dover-Oostende fleet were the Princesse Marie-Christine, Prins Albert and Prins Filip. The route was also shared with two RMT Jetfoil's Princesse Clementine and Princesse Stephanie.
