LAGAN VIKING departing from
Twelve Quays on her Maiden service voyage to Belfast on Wednesday
July 20, 2005. Photographed from the Wirral side of the river by Ian
Collard (left and above) and Philip Parker on the Liverpool side

LAGAN VIKING is a most unusual ship. I doubt she would
win any prizes for being an elegant ship. However, she certainly
appears very functional designed to carry large numbers of vehicles
and passengers. Notice how the car deck is aft, just below the funnel,
reached by a ramp system - perhaps shades of the LADY OF MANN? It
certainly keeps private vehicles away from the heavy freight.
