In March 2006 Superfast sold its Baltic Sea operations to Tallink. Like her sisters, the Superfast VIII was moved from Finnish to Estonian registry, and her route changed to Hanko–Paldiski–Rostock from April 2006 onwards. The call at Paldiski proved to be impractical, and already in June of the same year the route reverted to Hanko–Rostock. Around this time the ship's hull markings were changed to "Superfast operated by Tallink". Although there were rumours that the ships would be moved under Silja Line's brand from January 2007 onwards, they were instead officially made a part of Tallink's fleet. At the same time their route changed to Tallinn–Helsinki–Rostock. Between 5 and 12 April 2007 the ship was used on the Helsinki–Tallinn route due to a delay in the delivery of the new MS Star. After this she joined her sisters in the Rostock service. Stena Line charterIn March 2011, Stena Line announced it would be chartering the Superfast VIII and sister ship Superfast VII. The vessels now operate on crossings of the North Channel separating Ireland and Britain; between Belfast and Cairnryan, at a new facility built by Stena Line called Loch Ryan Port.[4] in February 2014, Stena renewed the charter of these ships until Autumn 2019. Stena Superfast VIII has been voted the top ship in the entire Stena Line fleet by Stena customers for both 2013 and 2014. Conversion to day ferries[3]Before the two sisters entered service for Stena Line, an extensive refurbishment/conversion overseen by Stena Ro-Ro and Knud E Hansen was undertaken at the Remontowa Shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland. This was rumoured at the time to have cost a total of €14M. As part of this conversion, the free height of the upper vehicle deck was raised to 5.05 m allowing Stena to carry full height freight. Both ships also received an additional bow thruster to improve manoeuvrability, taking their complement to 3 bow thrusters and 1 stern thruster. As the new port in Scotland had a TTS automated mooring system installed, the ships were also adapted to work with this by adding 3 steel bollards on the starboard side bow. RefurbishmentDuring March 2015, some areas of Stena Superfast VIII were refurbished whilst the ship was dry docked at Harland and Wolff.[3] Other informationStena Superfast VIII is managed by Stena Line as of September 2018, Stena Line purchased the vessel in December 2017 References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 {{cite web |url=http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/superfast_VIII_2001.htm |title=M/S Superfast VIII (2001) |accessdate=2 April 2008 |last=Asklander |first=Micke |work=Fakta om Fartyg |language=Swedish }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.tallinksilja.com/en/tab2/ships/superfast/technicalInformation/ |title=Tallink Superfast » Technical information |accessdate=2 April 2008 |format= |publisher=Tallink official website |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080330233021/http://www.tallinksilja.com/en/tab2/ships/superfast/technicalInformation/ |archivedate=30 March 2008 |df= }} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web|author=|publisher=NI Ferry Site|date=20 February 2014|accessdate=|title=Stena Superfast VII and Stena Superfast VIII|url=http://www.niferrysite.co.uk/?p=9}} 4. ^{{cite web|author=|publisher=Stena Line|date=7 March 2011|accessdate=|title=New ships for Scotland - NI service|url=http://www.stenaline.co.uk/ferry/media/news/newships/}} External links
