1998-2007: Irish Ferries
In January 1998 the Normandy was chartered to Irish Ferries and re-registered to Ireland. On 29 February 1998 she began service on their Rosslare—Pembroke Dock route,[1] in April moving to Cork—Roscoff and Rosslare—Cherbourg services.[citation needed] In 1999 Rederi AB Gotland sold her to Irish Ferries and during the same year she was re-registered to Hamilton, Bermuda. Between January and March 2000 Normandy interiors were rebuilt at a Polish shipyard. During the same docking side sponsons were added on her hull for improved stability. Following the refit she was placed on Irish Ferries services from Ireland to France.[1][2] In February 2004 the ship was out-of-traffic for four days due to a conflict between Irish Ferries and their employees onboard. The same was repeated between 27 November and 14 December 2005.[1] Following the delivery of the new MS Oscar Wilde,[3] Normandy was taken out-of-service on 2007-11-04.[1]
[edit]2008 onwards: Ferrimaroc
On November 5, 2007, the Normandy sailed from Rosslare to Fredericia, Denmark,[1] where she was laid up until sold to the Singapore-based oil service company Equinox Offshore Accommodation on 28 January 2008.[1] The new owners planned to rebuild her into an accommodation and repair vessel at SembCorp Marine shipyards, Singapore.[4] However, instead of being rebuilt she was chartered to the Morocco-based Ferrimaroc in March 2008, entering service on the Almeira—Nador route in April 2008.[1] She finally left the Mediterranean in the Autumn of 2008 and arrived in Singapore on 19 October [5] for her planned conversion, although it is understood that this has not yet taken place
