From Wikipedia

Mega Express Four is a fast roll-on/roll-off ferry owned by Corsica Ferries - Sardinia Ferries and operated on its routes from Italy and France to Corsica and Sardinia. She was built in 1995 by Schichau Seebeckwerft in Bremerhaven, Germany for Superfast Ferries as Superfast II. Between 2003 and 2006 she sailed for Spirit of Tasmania as Spirit of Tasmania III. Superfast II was the second ship built for Superfast Ferries for its Adriatic Sea services from Patras to Ancona. Its construction was identical to that of MS Superfast I. Superfast II entered service on 11 June 1995 on Superfast Ferries' Patras to Ancona route. In April 1998, following the delivery of the new MS Superfast IV, Superfast II was transferred to the Patras—Igoumenitsa—Bari route. From October 1999 until January 2000 she returned to the Patras—Ancona route as a replacement for MS Superfast III that was undergoing repairs after an onboard fire. In July 2003 Superfast II was sold to Spirit of Tasmania, with a delivery date set in September of the same year. TT-Line had already purchased Superfast III and Superfast IV the previous year, renaming them Spirit of Tasmania II and Spirit of Tasmania I, respectively. TT-Line took over the ship on 30 September 2003 and renamed her Spirit of Tasmania III.
