An iconic Tyne passenger ferry will be in tip top condition for summer after getting a new paint job and an engine overhaul. The Pride of the Tyne, one of two Shields Ferries owned and operated by Nexus, is currently in dry dock for extensive annual maintenance work. The 29-year-old vessel, which was built at Swan Hunter yard in 1993, has been treated with 180 litres of new paint from the mast right down to the hull.
