| Description |
I like visiting ships so I paid one Euro to board the Logos Hope and shortly after boarding the ship I was approached by a Nordic lady asking me if she could help me and what newspaper I worked for. She did not appear to be happy about having me on board and indicated that there was really nothing to photograph. MV Logos Hope is the fourth ship operated by the international Christian NGO Operation Mobilisation. She follows in the line of MV Logos, the wrecked hulk of which now sits on a rock shelf on the Chilean coast, MV Logos II which was retired in the fall of 2008 and which Logos Hope will replace, and MV Doulos. Twice as big as any previous OM Ship and totally redesigned and outfitted to suit OM’s ministry purposes and living conditions, Logos Hope provides a better quality of life for crew as well as a wider range of activities for visitors and guests. The newly created Logos Hope Experience (converted from the original ferry’s car area into two separate decks) holds up to 1,000 visitors at any time, with capacity to host an additional 700 in the Hope Theatre and Logos Lounge. Almost 500 crew and guests can be accommodated in the ship’s 200 cabins with better facilities and spaces for catering, health services and schooling. Logos Hope weighs in at 12,000 tonnes. Unlike the crew during her original use as a car ferry, crew members now will live on board for two years. She will undertake 14-day transpacific and transatlantic voyages, and over 400 people will work, eat and live on board - all of them volunteers. In 1973 the ship was commissioned as the car ferry Gustav Vasa running between Malmö (Sweden) and Travemünde (Germany), a route she ran for 10 years. In April 1983 she was sold to the Faroese ferry company Smyril Line and renamed Norröna. Sailing from Tórshavn, the Faroese capital, to Lerwick (Shetland Islands), Bergen (Norway), Hantsholm (Denmark) and Seyðisfjörður (Iceland) each summer, she was often chartered in the winter to cover other operators’ overhaul schedules. When Smyril Line delivered a new Norröna in 2003, the old vessel became Norröna I and was put up for sale. After much deliberation, inspection and prayer, OM purchased the vessel in March 2004. |
