 REMARKS:
Converted from day time to Night ship at Hall Russell and Co, Aberdeen prior to taking up service. Ship was built as Ro-Ro, however the bow visor was welded shut before entering service in the North. This gives an indication to the vessel's capability in a head-on sea. Ship had half decks on both port and starboard sides allowing a significant number of cars for the ship's size.
