ISABELLE - IMO 8700723

04/12/2023, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Islas Canarias, Spain.

Off to a new life>

I wouldn't normally post an image containing a subject so distant, however, as I was driving down to the coast from inland, I spied this ROPAX ferry heading south.
I was sure it was a Baltic ferry from its distinctive shape, and so it turned out.

It was the former Croatian built, Viking Line 'Isabella', which served many years on the Stockholm to Turku route, and latterly for Tallink, Estonia. Now 37 years old.

I have travelled on her twice. See:
flic.kr/p/2ptK8Rt

Here is her sister ship, 'Amorella' at Mariehamn, which I took from this very ship: flic.kr/p/2ptL5Nj

Having bunkered that morning offshore Las Palmas, she was on a 40 day, 22,563 km voyage from Estonia, via Las Palmas and the Panama Canal, to the Burrard Inlet, Vancouver, Canada, to become an accommodation vessel at a large LNG project:

Keel laid on 14/09/1987, launched on 13/08/1988, & completed on 15/06/1989, by Brodosplit, Split, Croatia (357)
34,384 g.t. & 3,680 dwt., as:
'Isabella' to 2013,
'Isabelle' to 2024, &
'Isabelle X' since, and Canadian registered.
