MS Norcape explained
MS Norcape was a
ro-ro freight vessel built for the British ferry company P&O Ferries. She was built in 1979 by Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding, Japan as
Puma. Later that year, she was renamed
Tipperary and began service with B&I Line, operating between Liverpool and
Dublin.
[1] After 10 years she was transferred to P&O North Sea Ferries and renamed as
Norcape. She was laid up in Liverpool in 2010 before going to refit and transferring to the Larne Troon route. She was sold for scrap following a grounding in Troon and cut up in
Aliağa,
Turkey.
