On the 28th of april 1978, the ship was delivered as Dana Anglia to her owners and named a few days later at the 4th of may in London. This was kind of a problem, though, because of the rather tall funnel of Dana Anglia. The new DFDS ferry was to be named next to HMS Belfast, the warship moored in central London. For this, she had to pass Tower Bridge and to do so, her funnel had to be shortened because otherwise it was impossible to pass the bridge.
