MV Norland
The ''Norland'' was a P&O roll-on/roll-off ferry operating between Kingston upon Hull in Yorkshire, UK, and Rotterdam Europoort, Netherlands, and then Zeebrugge, Belgium. The 27,000 tonne ferry was built in 1974 by AG Weser, Bremerhaven, for Dutch North Sea Ferries partners Noordzee Veerdiensten N.V. Sistership sailed under Dutch flag and ''Norland'' under British flag and with (mainly) British crew. The ship transferred to P&O North Sea Ferries in 1996.
==Falklands Service==
During the Falklands War, the Ministry of Defence requisitioned the ''Norland'' to be used as a troopship in the Task Force sent to retake the Falkland Islands from Argentina. ''Norland'' was among the ships to enter San Carlos Water during the amphibious landings of Commandos and Paratroopers. The ship survived attack from the Argentine Air Force, and at the end of the war repatriated the defeated Argentine troops back home, alongside the ''Canberra''.〔Falkland-war details from (British Units in the Falklands War ) website, visited 22 November 2009〕 For this service ''Norland'' received the battle honour "Falkland Islands 1982,"〔http://yourdemocracy.newstatesman.com/parliament/defence/HAN11705812〕 which for many years was displayed in one of the passenger lounges, with a painting of the ship in San Carlos Water.
