Island Seaway was a roll-on/roll-off ship operated by RW Miller between Port Lincoln, Adelaide and Kangaroo Island in South Australia.

Built by Eglo Engineering, Port Adelaide in 1987 to replace the Troubridge, [1][2][3] it made its maiden voyage on 13 November 1987.[4]

After the Port Lincoln to Kangaroo Island service ceased in March 1995, the Island Seaway was sold.[5] It was renamed Seaboard Supporter in November 2011 and Flying Viking in March 2012 under Norwegian ownership.[6]
