History

Norfolk Ferry was launched on 8 March 1951. Her port of registry was Harwich, Essex.[1] She was allocated the Official Number 182204.[2] Built for the British Transport Commission and operated by British Railways,[3] she made her maiden voyage on the Harwich–Zeebrugge route on 17 July 1951.[4] On 5 July 1960, Norfolk Ferry rescued the five crew from the German yacht Tagomago, which had been dismasted in the North Sea {{convert|30|nmi|km}} off Harwich.[5]Norfolk Ferry was registered to the British Railways Board on 1 January 1963.[3] In January 1963, she twice returned to Harwich due to a {{convert|98|LT|t}} casting coming loose.[6] She rescued four people on 20 September 1964 after their yacht capsized {{convert|3|nmi|km}} off Felixstowe.[7] Norfolk Ferry served on the Harwich–Zeebrugge route until February 1972, when she was put into service on the Harwich–Dunkerque route,[3] having been modified to enable her to use Dunkerque in 1967 and inaugurating the service on 2 October of that year.[8]

With the introduction of IMO numbers in the late 1960s, Norfolk Ferry was allocated the IMO number 5255985.[9] In May 1972, Norfolk Ferry was transferred to the Holyhead–Dublin route for a short time. She was registered to Passtruck (Shipping) Ltd in 1973 and then to Sealink in 1979. Norfolk Ferry was withdrawn from service in August 1981 and then reinstated from September to October, when she was again withdrawn from service and laid up in the River Blackwater.[3] She departed under tow of the Dutch tug Banckert on 14 April 1983 and arrived at Ouderkerk, Netherlands for scrapping on 17 April 1983.[2][3]
