P&O Irish Sea MF Norbay - Further Ferry Information and Vessel Description

The Norbay is a ro/pax ferry currently operating between Liverpool and Dublin for P&O Irish Sea Ferries. The Vessel was designed and built for North Sea Ferries in 1994 along with her sister the Norbank at Van Der Giessen-de Noord in Holland. The two freighters were originally designed to provide an increased amount of freight capacity on the Hull to Rotterdam service whist also offering a smaller passenger service onboard the vessels. Passenger services onboard the vessel are small but of an excellent standard.

In 2003 the Norbay along with her sister were transferred to the P&O Irish Sea route between Liverpool and Dublin. The vessels had previously been updated and painted in the P&O livery. The reason behind the transfer to the new route was due to the introduction of the new Superferries, Pride of Hull and Pride of Rotterdam on the Hull to Rotterdam service. The Norbay has a passenger capacity is 114. The reason for the low passenger number is because most of Norbay's space is used up for freight services. Despite the small capacity the vessel offers passengers the use of a comfortable lounge with flat screen tvs, a restaurant and bar and a shop.
