history
The ship was built under the hull number BO619 at the Singapore Technologies Marine shipyard in Singapore for the LD Lines belonging to the French shipping company Louis Dreyfus Armateurs. The launching of the ship took place on 8 October of 2009. The ship was completed in 2011. It was christened by Thérèse Gehanne, wife of the CEO of the Louis Dreyfus Armateurs Group.
The ship should initially be delivered in the summer of 2010 and used as a Norman Leader between Le Havre in France and Portsmouth in the United Kingdom . The construction contract was canceled in March 2011 because the ship did not meet the agreed specifications and would have been delivered too late due to delays in construction. Since then, the ship has been idle at the shipyard.
From May 2014 it operated as Nova Star between Portland in the US state of Maine and Yarmouth on the Canadian peninsula Nova Scotia . The ship sailed under the flag of the Bahamas with home port Nassau. At the end of the 2015 season, the ferry service was discontinued. The ship was subsequently arrested in Maine for unpaid bills. After a large part of the outstanding claims had been settled, it was released after about a month in December 2015. In February 2016, Inter Shipping from Morocco chartered the ship and started operating it between Algeciras in Spain and Tangier in Morocco from March 2016 . The ship was then launched in Algeciras in 2017 .

The ship was overhauled at the Gdańska Stocznia "Remontowa" shipyard in Gdańsk for use at Polferries . After several delays, the ship first operated the route on September 14, 2018.
