Norse Merchant FerriesNorse Merchant Ferries was created in October 1999 when Cenargo, the owners of Merchant Ferries purchased Norse Irish Ferries. The companies operated separately until February 2001 when Norse Merchant Ferries was officially launched. Norse Merchant Ferries operated the following routes across the Irish Sea; Liverpool (Canada Dock) - Dublin / Liverpool (Brocklebank Dock) - Belfast / Heysham - Dublin (Freight only) / Heysham - Belfast (Freight only). Cenargo filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code[1]. The shipping subsidiaries of Cenargo emerged from administration in December 2003 as Norse Merchant Group aquired by Maersk and integrated into Norfolkline. Source; www.wikipedia.org |
