Gustav Vasa
 
Gustav Vasa (2) - Norröna (1)
 
 
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Lion Ferry ship Gustav Vasa (2) of 1973.
 
Gustav Vasa (2) was built in Rendsburg in 1973 for Lion Ferry AB. She entered service with a charter to Svenska Rederi Ab Öresund between Malmö-Travemünde. In 1976 Trave Line and Svenska Rederi Ab Öresund combined to form Saga Line, and Gustav Vasa (2) continued to serve between Helsingborg/Malmö and Travemünde. In 1980 Saga Line joined with TT Line to form TT-Saga Line. Gustav Vasa (2) continued to serve between Malmö and Travemünde, but also served between Travemünde-Rönne and Trelleborg-Travemünde.
 
In April 1983, Gustav Vasa (2) was sold to Smyril Line (Faroes) as Norröna (1), for their summer network of services to Torshavn from Lerwick, Bergen, Hantsholm and Seydisfjördur. Norröna (1) was often chartered in the winter to cover other operators' overhaul schedules, serving Kiel-Korsör in 1983/84, TT-Line in 1984/85 etc. In 1988 Norröna (1) had charters with Larvik Line and GT-Link. Subsequent charters were with B&I Line, Sealink and Fjord Line. In 2000, Norröna (1) was rebuilt in Fredericia with stability sponsons aft. In 2003, Norröna (1) was renamed Norröna I, to release the name for her replacement Norröna (2), delivered that year. In January 2004, Norröna I covered for Norröna (2) between Hanstholm-Torshavn-Lerwick-Hanstholm, after which she was laid up in Copenhagen. In March 2004, Norröna I was sold to Operation Mobilisation Logos Ltd, Valletta, Malta, who renamed her Logos Hope.
 
Logos Hope remained in Copenhagen until February 2005, when she was taken to Bijela-Shipyard, Montenegro for rebuilding, but was soon transferred to Valletta before work was carried out. In June 2005 Logos Hope was taken to Togir, Croatia, for rebuilding.
