British Rail Class 99 (ships)

[7] Sealink Vanguard collided with European Gateway on the approach to Harwich, also in 1982, causing serious damage to the latter vessel, which nearly sank altogether.

The mixed origins of the fleet meant that disposal was carried out in a patchy manner, and at no point were all 15 Class 99s in service.

[12] The remaining eight members of the fleet (99 004/5/7/8/11-14) left British Rail ownership when Sealink was sold in 1984, after which they were invariably renamed (sometimes several times, making them harder to trace).

No.99 008 Anderida has, since 1988, was owned by Cooperative de Transport Maritime et Aerien in Canada but has since been sold to the Greek company Ainaftis.

[17] No.99 014 Transcontainer I was broken up early in 2001, also in India,[18] while No.99 004 Cambridge Ferry met its end in Turkey in 2003 after working off Malta as Ita Uno and Sirio.

She finished her days as the Nisos Limnos; Greek regulations on the age of passenger ferries prompted her to be sold for scrap in India in 2004.
