*************

MV Hrossey is a NorthLink Ferries vehicle and passenger ferry based in Aberdeen. With her sister ship, MV Hjaltland, she operates a daily ferry service between mainland Scotland and the northern archipelagos of Orkney and Shetland.

MV Hrossey and her sister ship, MV Hjaltland, were constructed in 2002 at Aker Finnyards in Finland.

MV Hrossey carries passengers, cars, freight and livestock. There is a choice of restaurants, bars and lounges, children's play area and a cinema. The restaurants and lounges have a total seating capacity of 600. The original 100 cabins had a total of 300 beds.^[3] All cabins are en-suite, most being two berth, with a number of four-berth cabins for families.^[4] In April 2007, an additional accommodation module was fitted at Cammell Laird in Birkenhead, increasing her capacity to 356 berths.^[5] The ship is fitted with lifts and was built to accommodate disabled passengers throughout. There are 10 officer and 27 crew cabins.^[6]

Each pair of diesel engines drives a controllable pitch propeller through a gearbox. There are two rudders, two 900 kW bow thrusters and Mitsubishi stabilisers.^[1][6]
