HIBERNIA
British Railways Sealink
Hibernia was a twin
screw motor vessel built by Harland and Wolff of Belfast
and operated by the British Transport Commission from
1948 to 1962 and British Rail from 1962 to 1976.
British Railways was formed in 1948 with the ships from
former LMS, LNER, SR and GWR fleets. British Railways
was rebranded British Rail in 1965, and new corporate
colors and logo were introduced. In 1968, an Act of
Parliament separated the shipping interests of British
Rail into a new division, for which the marketing name
Sealink was adopted in 1970.
In 1979, the ownership of
vessels was transferred to Sealink UK Ltd, in
preparation for the privatization of the railway fleet.
On 27 July 1984 the UK Government sold Sealink UK Ltd to
Bermuda-based Sea Containers. The company was renamed
Sealink British Ferries. Seven years later, in 1991 Sea
Containers sold Sealink British Ferries to Stena Line.
The new Swedish owners changed the company name to
Sealink Stena Line then again a few years later to Stena
Sealink Line.
In 1996 the Sealink name disappeared when the UK
services were re-branded as Stena Line.
