QUESTÕES DE ESCALA

Ontem, 1 de Junho de 2009, era este o aspecto do Terminal de Cruzeiros de Alcântara, ocupado por dois pequenos navios de cruzeiros tipo iate, ao contrário dos gigantes habituais. O SEADREAM I largou para Portimão e o Mediterrâneo após duas semanas em reparação na NAVALROCHA e o CLELIA II chegou a meio do dia para uma estadia que se prolonga até à tarde de 3 de Junho.
Yesterday, June 1, instead of the large cruise ships that usuly dock at Alcântara, the Terminal was occupied by two small yacht-like ships: the SEADREAM I, about to depart after a 14-day refit in the NAVALROCHA yard, Lisbon, and the CLELIA II, one of the original four sisters built for Renaissance in Italy. CLELIA II sails tomorrow after a three-day stay.
