History
The ship was built as yard number 154 by VEB Mathias Thesen Werft, Wismar, East Germany. She was launched on 29 November 1983 as Siegelberg and then laid up unfinished. In 1985, she was completed as Tuzla for Compania de Navigatie Romline, Constanța, Romania. The IMO number 8306591 was allocated. She served in the Black Sea. on 12 May 1990, Tuzla was involved in a collision with the Soviet ship MV <i>Andrey Kizhevatov</i>. In 1993, she was placed under the Cypriot flag, with Limassol as her port of registry. She was placed back under the Romanian flag in 1995.[1]
From 28 April 1996, Tuzla was chartered by Seatruck Ferries and renamed Bolero.[1] She was one of the first two ferries chartered by Seatruck.[2] Bolero was employed on the Heysham–Warrenpoint route. On 14 May 1997, she was chartered by Argoman and employed on the Harwich–Cuxhaven–Åbo route until the charter ended on 28 May 1997. Between June and August 1997, Bolero was chartered by Estline and employed on the Stockholm–Tallinn route. In September 1997 she was chartered to Norfolk Line and employed on the Felixstowe–Scheveningen route.[1]
On 16 October 2000, Bolero was sold to Alcatel Submarine Networks Marine, Copenhagen, Denmark, and was renamed Lodbrog. She was laid up in Leirvik, Norway. In 2001 she was rebuilt as a cable-laying ship by Remontowa, Gdańsk, Poland.[1] The rebuilt resulted in her being assessed as 9,983 GT, 2,995 NT.
