MS Superfast VIII

MS Superfast VIII

MS "Superfast VIII" is a fast Ro-Pax ferry operated by the Estonian ferry company Tallink on the route Tallinn (Estonia) — Helsinki (Finland) — Rostock (Germany). She was built in 2001 by Howaltswerke Deutsche Werft AG, Kiel, Germany for Attica Enterprises's subsidiary Superfast Ferries' Hanko (Finland) — Rostock service.

In March 2006 Superfast sold their Baltic Sea operations to Tallink. Like her sisters, the Superfast VIII was moved from Finnish to Estonian registry, and her route changed to HankoPaldiskiRostock from April 2006 onwards. The call at Paldiski proved to be impractical, an already in June of the same year the route reverted back to HankoRostock. Around this time the ship's hull marking where changed to "Superfast operated by Tallink". Although there were rumours that the ships would be moved under Silja Line's brand from January 2007 onwards, they were instead officially made a part of Tallink's fleet. At the same time their route changed to TallinnHelsinkiRostock. Between 5 and 12 April 2007 the ship was used on the HelsinkiTallinn route due to a delay in the delivery of the new MS "Star". After this she joined her sisters in the Rostock service.
