Bastø

SS Bastø was a roll-on/roll-off (roro) ferry built by Moss Værft & Dokk in 1934. Originally built as a steamship with side-loading for vehicles, she was converted to diesel propulsion and received aft and bow car loading ramps in the early 1950. Ordered by Alpha of Moss, Norway, she was originally used on the Moss–Horten Ferry, and later on routes from Moss to Oslo as SS Alpha. The vessel was bought by Kristian Ravns Ferjerederi (later Nord-Ferjer) in 1952, where she was named MF Røtinn and used on the Røsvik–Bonnåsjøen route. She ended her career in Italy with Trapani-based Tragetti delle Isole, who initially named her Costa Gaia. After a sinking in 1971, she was repaired and renamed Vulcano. The ship was scrapped in 2012.
