history
In October 1979 the Swedish state ferry company Statens Järnvägars Färjedrift (SJ) commissioned the construction of this ferry. At the time, it was the largest rail ferry in the world. Due to the critical situation of the Swedish shipyards, the order was triggered earlier than originally planned. In December 1981 the ferry went on a test drive to Saßnitz, but had to be improved due to various problems. This lasted until May 1982. From June 1982 the Trelleborg was used as planned on the Königslinie between Trelleborg and Sassnitz, and from 1998 she called at the Sassnitz ferry port in the Mukran district.
In February 1993 a fire broke out in the engine room, which the crew was able to extinguish. Due to machine problems, the ferry was repaired on the Öresundsvarvet in Landskrona in October 2005 , and the passenger area was extensively modernized in July 2006. In June 2007, the ferry hit the port of Trelleborg and a propeller was damaged. The repairs were carried out again on the Öresundsvarvet in Landskrona. On March 27, 2008, there was a bomb alarm in the Sassnitz ferry port. The numerous emergency services were able to quickly give the all-clear: A measuring device had been attached to the ship without the knowledge of the captain.

Beginning of April 2016 was the ship in Sunny renamed to the flag of Palau reflagging and ship management by the Go Shipping & Management in Piraeus assumed. She left Uddevalla on April 6, 2016. From April 27, 2016, the ferry was rebuilt at a shipyard near Ambelakia on the Greek island of Salamis ; from January 19 to March 9, 2017, it was in the dock of a shipyard on the island of Syros to renew the hull painting .
