history
The ship was built under hull number 563 at the Jos L. Meyer shipyard in Papenburg for the Swedish shipping company Stockholms Rederi AB Svea . It was the second in a series of three identical ships from the shipping company.
The keel was laid on November 4, 1970, the launch in February 1971. The ship was delivered on April 7, 1971. It sailed under the flag of Sweden with its home port Helsingborg between Helsingborg in Sweden and Helsingør in Denmark . It was operated by the Swedish shipping company Linjebuss International, a subsidiary of Stockholms Rederi AB Svea.
In 1980 the shipping company became part of the Scandinavian Ferry Line.
In 1985 the ferry on the Helsingør Skibsværft was rebuilt. The public areas were expanded and the vehicle capacity increased from 65 to 105 cars. Instead of 800 passengers, 900 passengers could now be carried.
In October 1991 the ship came to SweFerry, which continued to operate it between Helsingborg and Helsingør.
In May 1996 the ferry was decommissioned and laid up in Helsingborg. In January 1997 she was sold to the shipping company Saaremaa Laevakompanii in Estonia for less than two million euros and from June 1, 1997 it was used between Virtsu and Kuivastu or Rohuküla and Heltermaa under the flag of Estonia .
On October 1, 2016, the shipping company TS Laevad took over the operation of the ferry connections and had ordered several double-ended ferries for this purpose . However, these were not delivered until the end of 2016, so the shipping company bought the Regula for four million euros in order to initially be able to continue using it on the route and also to have a replacement ship in the event of other ferries failing. The Regula has been a reserve ship since summer 2017 . It is used in the event of a breakdown or to support the double-ended ferries that regularly operate on the route.
