Can you currently get from Turkey to Egypt by ferry?

Since April 2012, Anrusstrans is offering a ferry service between the Turkish port of Mersin, in the south east of the country, and Port Said, east of Alexandria on the Egyptian coast. Over at horizonsunlimited, for example here, there is some chatter about the journey, as well as some personal accounts. However, the personal accounts differ significantly in the details and are very anecdotal.

So far, Anrusstrans has not responded to my emails, requesting information, nor has a handler in Mersin.

Who has the lowdown on this? How often and on what days does the ferry leave Mersin? How much does it cost for a foot passenger? Interesting to others, how much does it cost to transport a motor bike? A car?
