My first Job aged all of 15 was a Galley Boy on T.F.S. M.V. DORIC FERRY, on the Felixtowe - Europoort - Zeebrugge Run. It certainly set Me up for an interesting Life and while it had its challenges I loved every minute. They were grand Ships and 'Europic' then the Flagship even served in the Falklands !
i grew up watching both the bardic and the ionic ferry, myself and my mate steve plunkett (plummy) got caught trying to stowaway on the ionic ferry around 1970, rip steve.
My father captained several vessels from this company, finishing with the Bardic Ferry.

Both were still running from Felixstowe in 1973/4.
My grandparents ran the terminal cafe on ASN/TFS felixstowe docks 1960s/70s.would be great if anyone has any memories of it.
Used this ferry many times .I was sad to see it finish .and so close to the M6 .
