Norcape by Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding Co. Ltd for P&O Ferries, intended name being Puma. She was chartered to B+I Line as Tipperary for use between Liverpool-Dublin. In 1988 she was sold to North Sea Ferries for use as Norcape between Europort-Ipswich and Hull-Zeebrugge. In 1996 registered owners became P&O North Sea Ferries. Following the withdrawal of the Ferryways service from Tilbury to Ostend, on their takeover by Cobelfret, P&O intruduced a new Tilbury-Zeebrugge route. Initially served by the Calibur and Hoburgen, the latter was replaced by Norcape in May 2008.
