History
She entered service in 1996, the latest car ferry to enter service after MV Red Falcon and MV Red Osprey in 1994.[3] Between October and December 2004 she underwent modifications by Remontowa in Gdańsk, Poland, in order to increase vehicle capacity by 80[4] and allow a greater passenger capacity.[5] This involved the lengthening of the ship by 9.6 m.[6]
