About IMO 5138046

MV Gullfoss was an Icelandic passenger and cargo ship operating between Iceland, Denmark, and Scotland from 1950 to 1972. She replaced another Gullfoss, both being named after the much-visited Gullfoss waterfall. In 1939 Eimskip planned to replace the 1915 Gullfoss, but World War II intervened and the new ship was not launched until 8 December 1949. Some days after launching, Gullfoss suffered a dust explosion, which killed four shipyard workers and injured two. On 14 May 1950, she made her maiden voyage from Copenhagen, Denmark, carrying 164 passengers, arriving in Reykjavík, Iceland, on Saturday, 20 May, to a ministerial welcome. During the 1950s and 1960s Gullfoss ran fortnightly in summer on the Copenhagen-Edinburgh/Leith-Reykjavik route and three-weekly in winter via Hamburg, West Germany. In winter she sometimes also became a cruise ship.
