The Norröna

Smyril Line's Norröna is seen above at Dun Laoghaire in 1994. Normally to be found sailing the North Atlantic between Norway, Iceland, the Shetlands and the Faroes, the ship first ventured into the Irish Sea in October 1989 when she was taken on charter by B&I Line. She returned again in January 1994 for a three month charter to Stena Sealink Line to cover overhaul periods on both the Fishguard and Holyhead routes. An interesting ship, with an equally interesting menu from which to choose, the Norröna's time at Holyhead was primarily in a freight role sailing on the Stena Cambria's schedules. On 19 April 2004 the ship was purchased by OM Ships International and renamed Logos Hope as a replacement for their Ministry Ship Logos II.
