DAWN MERCHANT completed her charter to Maersk's Norfolk Line English Channel operation on Thursday evening October 13. She arrived back on the Mersey on the morning tide of Saturday October 15, 2005. She proceeded up river swinging off the Twelve Quays Terminal to a long welcoming whistle from her sister BRAVE MERCHANT before heading to Langton Lock and proceeding into the former Norse Merchant Ferries Belfast berth at Brocklebank Dock where she was secured around 09:20.
DAWN MERCHANT departed the Mersey on charter to Norfolk Line on September 14, 2002. Her return to Merseyside is only temporary as she is to provide refit cover for the original "Vikings" prior to the transfer to the Dublin route of LIVERPOOL VIKING which will take place on delivery of the new MERSEY VIKING. She is expected to sold later this year.
