The route between Hull and Zeebrugge has been operating between the two ports since 1974 when North Sea Ferries introduced their first generation ships the mv Norwind and mv Norwave which had been transferred from the Hull to Rotterdam route. In 1981 North Sea Ferries was jointly owned by P&O Ferries and the Royal Nedlloyd Group of Holland, this partnership lasting until 1996 when P&O Ferries acquired Royal Nedlloyd's portion of the company. The current ships were built in 1987 and were specially designed for the Hull to Rotterdam route for which they served between 1987 and 2001.
