The MV "Great Expectations" was originally introduced in 1992 and was originally used on the Gravesend to Tilbury ferry service across the River Thames in Kent, which was at that time operated by White Horse Ferries Ltd. She is named after the Charles Dickens novel, "Great Expectations", in which the countryside of Kent and the marshes on the lower regions of the Thames feature heavily.cite web | publisher = Ian Boyle/Simplon Postcards | date = 1999-2006 | url = http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/TilburyGravesend.html | title = Tilbury-Gravesend Ferries | accessdate = 2006-02-14]

In 1995 White Horse moved the MV "Great Expectations" from the Thames to be the front-line vessel on their Hythe service.cite web | publisher = Ian Boyle/Simplon Postcards | date = 1999-2006 | url = http://simplonpc.co.uk/Hythe_Soton.html | title = Hythe-Southampton Ferries | accessdate = 2006-02-14] cite web | publisher = Ian Boyle/Simplon Postcards | date = 1999-2006 | url = http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/TilburyGravesend.html | title = Tilbury-Gravesend Ferries | accessdate = 2006-02-14]
