REMARKS:
After P&O converted the ship's accommodation from day to night requirements the ships deadwieght was greatly reduced. Side sponsons were fitted to increase the deadweight tonnage. Her beam was additionally increased as a result. Conversion work was carried out prior to entering service at Lloyd Werft yard, Bremerhaven, Germany. Ship had half decks on the port side only, which only spanned 2 of the 3 lanes on the port side. Vessel was originally Ro-Ro on the Aberdeen Lerwick route. Her bow was however sealed making her stern loading only. Vessel was also designed with side entrance doors, port side at the bow and starboard side at the stern.
