''Port Link'' is a ro-pax ferry that was operated by Stena Line between Stranraer and Belfast. ==History== The ''Port Link'' was built in 1980 as the ''St David'' for Sealink. She was ordered to replace the ''Stena Normanica'' on the Fishguard - Rosslare route; instead she entered service alongside the ''St Columba'' on the Holyhead - Dún Laoghaire route〔Cowsil & Hendy - The Saints Go Marching On〕 In 1985 the ''St David'' was transferred to Dover to operate a joint service with RMT to Ostend. In 1990 Sea Containers sold Sealink British Ferries sold to Stena Line. The ''St David'' was renamed ''Stena Caledonia'' and returned to the Irish Sea, this time to the Stranraer - Larne route. In order to meet the latest SOLAS regulations the ''Stena Caledonia'' was sent to Cammell Laird in 1999. Work included the addition of a duck tail sponson to the stern and a bulbous bow. In her 29th year of service the ''Stena Caledonia'' returned to Cammell Laird for a £1.8 million refit.〔http://www.clickpress.com/releases/Detailed/110445005cp.shtml〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MS Port Link」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
