- This page
is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Tor Lines ferry
Tor
Scandinavia.
-
- Tor
Scandinavia was built in 1976 for the Goteborg-Amsterdam and
Goteborg-Felixstowe services of Tor Line, one year after her
sister Tor
Britannia.
They were both 16000grt, carried 1358 passengers, and had a high
service speed of around 25knots (over 26knots maximum). In 1980,
there was a brief partnership between Tor Line and Sessan Line,
marketed as SESSAN TOR LINE.
-
- In 1981 the
passenger operations of Tor Line were acquired by DFDS Seaways. The two ex-Tor ships
were initially marketed as DFDS TOR LINE. The logo was soon removed,
and Tor
Scandinavia
began to serve on other DFDS Seaways routes. Tor Scandinavia was renamed Princess of Scandinavia in 1991. Although her
sister Prince
of Scandinavia was sold in 2003, DFDS announced late 2004 that
Princess
of Scandinavia would be fitted with new sprinkler systems, catalytic
converters and upgraded cabins and bar area, ensuring suitability
for continued service.
-
- Princess
of Scandinavia was sold to Moby in 2006 and renamed Moby Otta.

carried the logo DFDS TOR LINE on their hulls, as shown in the

began operating on services other than the Tor Line Felixstowe-Goteborg
and Amsterdam-Goteborg routes.
