MV HIBERNIA
a British Railways Sealink ship

MV Hibernia was a twin screw motor vessel built by Harland and Wolff of Belfast and operated by the British Transport Commission from 1948 to 1962 and British Rail from 1962 to 1976. 

British Railways was formed in 1948 with the ships from former LMS, LNER, SR and GWR fleets. British Railways was rebranded British Rail in 1965, and new corporate colors and logo were introduced. In 1968, an Act of Parliament separated the shipping interests of British Rail into a new division, for which the marketing name Sealink was adopted in 1970.

In 1979, the ownership of vessels was transferred to Sealink UK Ltd, in preparation for the privatization of the railway fleet. On 27 July 1984 the UK Government sold Sealink UK Ltd to Bermuda-based Sea Containers. The company was renamed Sealink British Ferries. Seven years later, in 1991 Sea Containers sold Sealink British Ferries to Stena Line. The new Swedish owners changed the company name to Sealink Stena Line then again a few years later to Stena Sealink Line.

In 1996 the Sealink name disappeared when the UK services were re-branded as Stena Line.
