N L G     Summer Timetable
Daily
25th May to 28th September 2008
Click here for details of the dates either one or both the motor paddle vessels were "observed" in service during Summer 2008
The following table shows the sailings which may again be operated by the two motor paddle vessels
(based on early and peak Summer 2007 also previous years)
but only on those days they are rostered to operate
in public timetabled service
*** and only on a non-advertised basis ***

note specially MPV G Zanardelli did not enter service in 2007 until July
 Beware .....
..... in previous years one or both motor paddle vessels have on occasions been laid-up before the end of the NLG summer timetable with their traditional sailings reverting to solely motor vessel operation
If you have any further information or see either or both vessels in service please e-mail me with the details

The following summary is extracted from the official NLG "on-line" timetable
for Summer 2008, but once again there is no reference to either of the
two motor paddle vessels being advertised in service


In order to give holidaymakers etc., an idea of what to possibly expect
or at least enquire about
the sailings below show the motor paddle vessels planned to operate them in 2007
but only on those days they were rostered into public service
on other dates these sailings will normally be operated by a smaller motor vessel

This timetable shows the sailings which may be operated by the motor paddle vessels,
but only on those days they are in public service
Steamer rosters are liable to last-minute alteration on a day by day basis
particularly in connection with private charter sailings
or occasionally when covering for one of the larger car ferries on the 'full-length' sailings

BASED on previous years
POSSIBLE alterations for some if not most "peak-summer dates"

  MPV Italia may operate sailings 6-11-12-13-30-31 vice a motor vessel
  MPV G Zanardelli may operate sailings 16-17-18-19 vice a motor vessel
  on a non-advertised basis, except when there are private charter sailings
  or when MPV Italia occasionally operates to Riva vice the regular car ferry

  If YOU have any further information, please e-mail me with the details
and I will update this page for the benefit of other visitors to this website
