REMARKS:
Lengthened by 5.4m during 1988 by Tees Dockyard to counteract a deadweight problem. Her piers had to be altered at the same time. All repairs and modifications to both vessel and piers were paid for by her builders. Vehicle capacity downgraded from 80 cars due to modifications on her car deck. Was involved in serious collision with Lord of the Isles in December 2004 and required major bow repairs.
