On March 14, 1985 the ship was delivered to the Neue Pellwormer Dampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft . There she was used in the ferry service between Nordstrand and Pellworm . In 1997 she was sold to the Insel- und Halligreederei Sven Paulsen in Westerland on Sylt . It was renamed Adler Polonia . Her home port was now Altwarp , from where butter trips on the Oderhaff were made.

It was sold to the Wyk steam ship shipping company Föhr-Amrum and in 2002 Hilligenlei I renamed. It replaced the larger Hilligenlei III and took up the ferry service between Schlüttsiel, Halligen Hooge and Langeneß and Wittdün on Amrum on September 21, 2002 . In February 2010 it was renamed Hilligenlei after the Hilligenlei III was sold in 2006. Amrum has not been used since 2019. At the beginning of 2019, the ship received a new engine system with two Volvo Penta main engines with an output of 294 kW each. It replaced two MWM diesel engines with an output of 285 kW each.
