About MV Manx Viking
The MV Monte Castillo / Manx Viking / Skudenes / Nindawayma was a passenger, truck and car ferry. Built as long-distance multi-purpose roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) ferry, she handled both cargo and passengers with fully refrigerated vehicle decks. Built by S.A. Juliana Gijonesa in Gijón, Spain, she was one of three sister ships and launched on 19 August 1974. She remained in service until 1992, and was scrapped in 2012. She entered service as Monte Castillo with Spain's Naviera Aznar in 1976, two years postponed due to outfitting delays. She was sold to Manx Line in 1977 (later Sealink-Manx Line) and renamed Manx Viking for service between Heysham, England, and Douglas, Isle of Man. She was bought by Det Stavangerske Dampskibsselskab in 1987, named Skudenes and for a brief year put into the Mekjarvik–Skudeneshavn service across Boknafjorden.
