MV Strangford II

MV Strangford II is a passenger and car ferry operated by Transport NI.

[1] The Strangford II was built by Cammell Laird in Birkenhead, England.

She was delivered in 2016, but it was initially found that vessel was unable to discharge cars at high tide due to a specification error, which delayed entry into service.

The vessel finally entered service in February 2017, and was formally named in July of that year by the Duke of Kent.

There have been calls to install an exhaust stack on the vessel similar to that on the MV Portaferry II, which releases fumes high up.
