The ship was launched on 29 November 1983 as Siegelberg and then laid up unfinished. In 1985, she was completed as Tuzla for Compania de Navigatie Romline, Constanța, Romania. On 12 May 1990, Tuzla was involved in a collision with the Soviet ship MV Andrey Kizhevatov.

From 28 April 1996, Tuzla was chartered by Seatruck Ferries and renamed Bolero. She was one of the first two ferries chartered by Seatruck. On 14 May 1997, she was chartered by Argoman. Between June and August 1997, Bolero was chartered by Estline. In September 1997 she was chartered to Norfolk Line.

On 16 October 2000, Bolero was sold to Alcatel Submarine Networks Marine, Copenhagen, Denmark, and was renamed Lodbrog. She was laid up in Leirvik, Norway. In 2001 she was rebuilt as a cable-laying ship by Remontowa, Gdańsk, Poland.
