Balder Sten - Bazias 3 - Sally Euroroute - Dart 3 - Phocine
 
 
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the ro-ro ferry Dart 3, originally the Balder Sten.
 
Dart 3 was built as the Balder Sten in Rumania in 1984 for Norwegian owners. She was sold the same year, along with her sisters, to Navrom of Rumania, and renamed Bazias 3. In 1991 she was chartered to Sally Ferries for service between Ramsgate-Oostende, and was renamed Sally Euroroute in 1993. In 1997 she was sold to Jacob Holdings (Dart Line), for use on the ex-Sally route of Dartford-Vlissingen, but did not enter service until 1999 as the Dart 3. She has also served on their Dartford-Zeebrugge route. Dart 3 passed to Cobelfret in 2006 and was renamed Phocine. She soon moved from the Thames to serve Killinghome, but has since operated Thames routes again. She also had a short charter to the IOMSPCo in 2007.
