Norrona at Scrabster
The Bremen-built Norrona is capable of carrying 1482 passengers and 634 cars.
During the summer months of 2007 and 2008 it sailed to Scrabster from Bergen once a week. It then headed north to Torshavn in the Faroes and on to Seyisfjrur in Iceland before returning to the Faroes and then back to Bergen.
In November 2008 the Faroese government had to step in to save Smyril from bankruptcy with the injection of £3.1m.
Now the Norrona is used for a year-round service from the Faroes to Denmark, calling in Iceland between spring and autumn only.
