history

The ship was ordered from Aker Yards on December 15, 2005 together with the sister ship SuperSpeed ​​1 . The ship was laid down at the shipyard in Rauma on August 2, 2007 and undocked on January 18, 2008. On June 5, 2008 the ship was delivered to the client and christened on June 19, 2008. The ship began service between Hirtshals and Larvik on June 20, 2008, replacing Christian IV . The travel time on the route was reduced from 6 hours (day trip) to 11 hours (night trip) to 3 hours and 45 minutes. While the SuperSpeed ​​1 was being rebuilt in Finland between December 2010 and February 2011 , the ship operated the Larvik - Hirtshals - Kristiansand route .

In March 2014, the ship was Fayard shipyard with Wärtsilä - scrubbers equipped. Special scrubbers were used that take up very little space and thus did not require any major modifications to the ship.
