///FREIGHT BREAK Ferry harmonious


It was church music rather than sea shanties for the P&O Ferries’ Choir when they performed at the Les Rêves de Notre Dame concert in Calais on 9 November. Around 700 people packed into Notre Dame Church to hear the choir, originally formed by crewmembers and shore staff at the ferry operator and led by famous Soprano Hilary Campbell. The choir has its origins when it


won the BBC TV show “The Choir: Sing While You Work”, which


featured fi ve corporate choirs competing against one another for the title of ‘Workplace Choir of the Year’. In the past few years, the choir has gone on tour, performing to


a London audience of 45,000 at Susan Boyle’s Tour, at Leeds and Dover Castle, or more recently in New York’s Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. The choir has also recorded several albums including classical pieces of Mozart and Bruckner, gospel, pop and Irish folk music.

A Testament to ABP expertise


Last seen perched on top of Mount Ararat a few millennia ago, Noah’s Ark has made a visit to ABP’s Port of Ipswich. The wooden vessel is in remarkably good condition, for one that is tens of thousands of years old, possibly explained by the fact that the latest incarnation is the brainchild of Dutch TV and theatre producer, Sir Aad Peters, whose ambition is to create a fl oating Biblical theme park in Europe. The Ark will be at Ipswich’s


Haven Marina for three months as the fi rst UK stop of a longer tour. Visitors will be able to learn about David and Goliath, King Solomon, Adam and Eve and other legends of the Old and New


Testaments. The Ark is not linked to any Church or religious group and is described as a family- friendly experience. However, there’s no trusting


to Providence in the world of modern shipping. ABP Divisional Port Manager –


East Coast, Paul Ager, said: “This is an enormous vessel which was expertly handled by our skilled people, with little or no margin for error. This is another example of our people’s expertise, to routinely handle any challenge, fl exibly and safely.”
