Summary

[edit]
Description

Built. 1975 Yard. Flender Werft Ag, Lubeck, Germany Class of Ship. Passenger Ferry Operator. DFDS/Scandinavian Seaways Length. 182.35 Gross Tonnage. 14,905 Passengers. 1700 Speed. 24.5 knots Former Name. Tor Scandinavia Status. Moby Otta (Moby Lines)

Tor Scandinavia was eventually delivered on April 12, 1976...Although technically modern in many ways; the ships' exteriors were quite traditional in their style, reminiscent more of ocean liners than ferries.

For all of its service with Tor Line, the Tor Scandinavia alternated with its sister on the routes Gothenburg–Immingham and later Felixstowe) and Gothenburg–Amsterdam. Already in autumn 1976 the ship had her first major accident, when she ran into a major storm on the North Sea. Nine windows were smashed and the ship started taking in water from the forward air intakes on the superstructure. Eventually the ship arrived in Amsterdam approximately 18 hours behind schedule.

Tor Scandinavia was renamed Princess of Scandinavia in 1991. Princess of Scandinavia was sold to Moby in 2006 and renamed Moby Otta.
