MV Ulysses is a RORO car ferry currently owned and operated by Irish Ferries. The ship was launched on 1 September 2000 at Aker Finnyards shipyard in Rauma, Finland and services the Dublin - Holyhead route. She was handed over to her owners ICG at the Rauma yard on 22 February 2001, leaving under the command of Captain Peter Ferguson on 28 February and arriving in Dublin Bay at 07:00 on Sunday 4 March. The naming ceremony was undertaken by swimmer Mairéad Berry. The design of Ulysses is based on the Aker Finnyard Cruise Ferry 4000 concept design. The vessel stands 12 decks high, towering over most other vessels at a height of 167.5 feet[3] (approx 51 metres) from keel to mast. The vessel has five vehicle decks, including a stowable mezzanine deck consisting of two 'swing decks', called 'Plates', which are lowered to accommodate a greater number of 'low vehicles' (i.e. vehicles up to 2 metres high) - these swing decks are primarily used in holiday seasons when there is a much greater number of passenger vehicles. When launched she was the world's largest car ferry in terms of vehicle capacity. The Ulysses is due to be working along side the new WB Yeats Ship in the later end of 2018 and her fate on the Holyhead Dublin route is unknown for the future. She has been a loyal servant to the port of Holyhead and Dublin. She is accompanied by two other Irish ferries ships on the same route, the Epsilon and the Jonathan Swift (Soon to be replaced in April 2018 by a similar vessel the Westpac Express) Facebook - Eye In The Sky Cinematography Instagram - Eye In The Sky Cinematography Twitter - @EyeInTheSkyDJI Airvuz - Eye In The Sky Cinematography
