MF Goalsevarre (1972)
ship built in 1972
MF Goalsevarre was a roll-on/roll-off passenger and road vehicle ferry built in 1972 by Tromsø Skibsverft & mek. Verksted. She was delivered to Bjørklids Ferjerederi, who put her into service on the Lyngseidet–Olderdalen crossing of Lyngen in Troms, Norway. She was later used on the Breivikseidet–Svensby service across Ullsfjorden, and was moved between the two routes several times.
She was leased to Troms Fylkes Dampskibsselskap (TFDS) in 2000 and used on several routes, before TFDS bought her outright in 2004. She was renamed MF Salangen and put into service on the Hansnes–Stakkvik crossing. She remained there until 2017, when she was sold. She was named MV Dolly C, based on the Grenada island of Carriacou. She mostly operated services between Tyrrel Bay and St. George's, but also some other destinations.

Why this record matters
“MF Goalsevarre (1972)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Goalsevarre, ship and built provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11987408. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1972, 2000, 2004 and 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
