history

The Miranda (Type 163)

The seven ships were ordered by various shipping companies in order to charter them out to the Finnish Transfennica on a long-term basis . The first two units were ordered by the Finnish Godby Shipping Ab through its own owner companies Oy Minicarriers Ab and Oy Trailer-Link Ab. The type ship Mistral was delivered on January 2, 1999, the Miranda followed on February 12, 1999. The two other ships of the base type 163, the Friedrich Russ and the Elisabeth Russ , ordered the Hamburg shipping company Ernst Russ . They were delivered on March 19 and April 24, 1999. Transfennica initially used the four units in liner service between Hanko (Finland) and Lübeck (Germany).

The ordered by the Finnish Bror Husell Chartering From Seagard and the two ordered by Reederei Russ ships Caroline Russ and Pauline Russ belong to subtype 163a. They were originally planned by Transfennica for trips between Hamina (Finland) and Tilbury ( Great Britain ). In order to be able to complete the rounds on this route within a week, the three ships have more powerful main engines and reach a higher speed.

The series was initially only used in the North Sea and Baltic Sea . From 2004 the shipping company Godby Shipping used the Mistral , and a year later also the Miranda , for UPM-Kymmene between Rauma (Finland) and Santander ( Spain ). Since the beginning of the 2010s, some ships have been sailing in the Mediterranean at times . The Miranda was on August 11, 2017 Godby Shipping to the FRS group belonging Cypriot sold Kekepania Shipping Company Limited and on January 9, 2018 Cádiz passed (Spain) to the new owner, who in Miramar Express renamed. The shipping company FRS Iberia then used the ship in liner service between Motril (Spain) and Tanger-Med ( Morocco ). The Miramar Express is currently operating for FRS Iberia between Algeciras (Spain) and Tanger-Med (as of April 2020). The Mistral came after a five year charter to P & O from January to the end of April 2020 for the shipping company Balearia between Huelva (Spain) and the Canary Islands are used.
