Yes indeed, it was the Vortigern aground off Ostend in 1982.
There is an interesting collection of photos of this grounding in the Past and Present section of Dover Ferry Photos at:

It was the Hengist which was blown onto the toe-weighting apron at Folkestone Warren during the 1987 hurricane. Must have been a very hairy night for the crew.
