ARV 2 (ex NORMANDY / STENA NORMANDY / ST NICHOLAS / PRINSESSAN BIRGITTA) imo: 7901772

Originally PRINSESSAN BIRIGITA for Sessan Line / Stena Line, ARV 2 was perhaps best known as the former ST. NICHOLAS of Sealink, STENA NORMANDY of Sealink Stena Line, and NORMANDY of Irish Ferries. She was scrapped in India in 2012 having laid abandoned in Singapore since 2008 after plans to convert her to an offshore accommodation vessel stalled.

Irish Ferries NORMANDY arrives in Cherbourg during summer 1998. She was previously Sealink Stena Line’s STENA NORMANDY on the shorter Southampton to Cherbourg service and predecessor Sealink British Ferries’ ST. NICHOLAS on the Harwich to Hoek van Holland service. Copyright © Rob de Visser.
