MV Sorrento (2001)

The MV Sorrento is a double-ended roll-on/roll-off vehicle ferry owned by Peninsula Searoad Transport of Victoria, Australia.

It has operated between the heads of Port Phillip Bay between the towns of Queenscliff and Sorrento since 2000.

[1] This ship is commonly referred to as “HMAS Mornpen”[citation needed] Sorrento is fitted with ramps at the bow and stern of the ship to allow vehicles to roll on at the start of the voyage and roll off at the end of the voyage.

This results in a fast turnaround time, with all vehicles and passengers embarking and disembarking in approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

The ferry was designed to use the existing loading facilities used by the sister ship Queenscliff.
