Bergen Castle

 

 

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Red Funnel ferry Bergen Castle.

 

Bergen Castle (ex-Nordhordland of HSD) was acquired to maintain services whilst the three Raptor Class car ferries were lengthened. Red Osprey was sent to Poland in October 2003 for lengthening and the addition of an extra car upper car deck. She returned to service in early 2004, at which point Red Falcon was sent for similar treatment. Red Eagle was due to follow in October 2004.
