MV Peveril was a ro-ro cargo ferry operated in the Irish Sea, initially by P&O Ferries and then Sealink. As NF Jaguar and then Peveril, between 1981 and 1998 she was operated by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company from Douglas, Isle of Man.
Competition from the rival Manx Line led to the financial collapse of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company and its subsequent amalgamation with Sealink-Manx Line. From 1 April 1985, the main UK port was to move from Liverpool to Heysham, severing connections with Liverpool after 155 years. Twelve shore staff staged a sit-in at Liverpool trapping the Peveril. She was only released on 8 April after redundancy payments totalling almost a quarter of a million pounds were agreed, adding to the costs of withdrawing from Liverpool.[4] She continued on the route until 10 July 1998.
In September 2000, she was sold to Marine Express Inc., Panama. As Caribbean Express, she left Birkenhead on 27 September. A few days, later she suffered an engine failure in the Bay of Biscay and required repair in Santander, Spain.[3]
