MV ''Peveril'' was a ro-ro cargo ferry operated in the Irish Sea, initially by P&O Ferries and then Sealink. As ''NF Jaguar'' and then ''Peveril'', between 1981 and 1998 she was operated by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company from Douglas, Isle of Man. ==History== Built in 1971 as MV ''Holmia'' by Kristiansands Mekaniske Verksted, Norway for Silja Line, Finland,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ASD Meteor - IMO 7105029 )〕 she was operated as ''ADS Meteor'' and then ''Pendaby'' by P&O Ferries between Heysham and Belfast from February 1973.〔 From May 1981, she was on bareboat charter to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company operating between Douglas and Heysham in rivalry to the Manx Line, . The company purchased her in December 1982 and renamed her ''Peveril''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Gathering Crisis )〕 Competition from the rival Manx Line led to the financial collapse of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company and its subsequent amalgamation with Sealink-Manx Line. From 1 April 1985, the main UK port was to move from Liverpool to Heysham, severing connections with Liverpool after 155 years. Twelve shore staff staged a sit-in at Liverpool trapping the ''Peveril''. She was only released on 8 April after redundancy payments totalling almost a quarter of a million pounds were agreed, adding to the costs of withdrawing from Liverpool.〔 She continued on the route until 10 July 1998. In September 2000, she was sold to Marine Express Inc., Panama. As ''Caribbean Express'', she left Birkenhead on 27 September. A few days, later she suffered an engine failure in the Bay of Biscay and required repair in Santander, Spain. In 2002, she was detained in Sotchi, Russia. Latterly under Cambodian flag, she was sold to Indian breakers in 2009 and is believed to have been scrapped.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Express )〕 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「MV Peveril (1971)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
