| M/S "Fjord Norway" ble innkjøpt av
Fjordline for deres suksessfulle rute Bergen-Haugesund-Egersund-Hanstholm.
Skipet som tidligere har hett "Peter Pan" og "Spirit of Tasmania" fikk
navnet "Spir" da det ble seilt til Norge fra Australia, hvor skipet har
betjent ruter mellom subkontinetntet Australia og Tasmania for P&O (Pacific
& Orient). Som en av få fartøy i verden er hun istand til å betjene
kainalegget i Hanstholm. Skipet ble kraftig opprustet og tilpasset sine operasjoner på ruten av Fjordline. Bla. fikk hun enda en tunnelthruster fremme i baugpartiet og fassiliteter ble tilpasset ønsker og behov for de reisende. Trailer-kapasiteten hennes er velp tilpasset det store volumet transport på strekningen. Tax-Free Shopping, Restaurantdekk m.m. er tilpasset de reisende behov på strekningen. Skipet oppererer kontinuerlig på Hansholm-Egersund (Ca. 1 time Sør for Stavanger), hvor seilingstiden fra Stavanger Regionen til Hanstholm er kortest, enkelte seilinger opperer videre til Haugesund og Bergen. |
M/S "Fjord Norway" was bought by
Fjordline following a need for capacity increase on their Denmark Line
(Bergen-Haugesund-Egersund-Hanstholm), when demand was increasing ( Her main
operating harbour is just off Egersund, where most crossings sail from south
in The Stavanger Region. Aprox 1 hour + driving time from Stavanger City,
whilst Haugesund is in Northern Rogaland North of The Boknafjord, where she
stops on her sailings also operating onbound to Bergen. Her pervious names have been "Peter Pan", sailing in Europe, operating as the "Spirit of Tasmania", operating services by P&O in Austral-Asia, servicing sailings between Australia and Tasmania, she was bought by Fjordline, renmaed the temporary name "Spir" transfered to Norway. Following massive upgrades, including the adition of a second Tunnel Thruster in her forward section she entered her services on Fjordlines Denmark Line. |
