With the Goldenfels and the Gutenfels , DDG “Hansa” opened a full container service from the Mediterranean Sea and the US east coast to Germany in March 1970.
After the DDG "Hansa" and Vallain & Fassio e Compagnia Internazionale di Genova from Genoa joint subsidiary Atlantica Spa had founded in Genoa in 1971, which was Goldenfels to the Atlantica Line chartered for which the ship until 1974 under the name Atlantica Montreal went .
