I thought it was a made up name for film-Was Ringo's wife in that one.

Definitely not MattB or I would have remembered her, the biggest ULCCs to visit Milford Haven where the Berge Boss ex Shell Tanker Lyria IMO 7359084 , Berge Pioneer and there was a Salen ULCC the name evades me either the Sea Scape or Sea Saga. Going back to Rick's comment the only L class to visit Milford although in another guise.

Also the Liparus had a starring role in the 1977 James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me with Roger Moore.

I wonder if she ever came to Milford?

Hi Matt, possibly, but unlikely. Our usual discharge ports in NW Europe were Europort and Shellhaven. That doesn't preclude a possible 'outside' charter to another company though.
I'll ask some of our guys and get back to you.
Regards, Rick

Hi Matt, a rather late reply, but I asked on our old colleagues Facebook page, and no, she never made it to Milford.
Several other 'M' class did, but I don't think any L's made it there!
Cheers, Rick
