-Golden Star Ferries (2017-2021)

The high speed craft SUPERCAT was built in 2000 in Australia, having been ordered as the CARAIBE JET for Oceanfast Ferries. The latter company went bankrupt however before the ship was completed. She was subsequently sold to German company AG Ems and was renamed POLARSTERN. Her construction was finished in Germany and she entered service in late 2000 on the Papenburg-Ditzum-Emden-Eemshaven-Borkum-Heligoland line on the North Sea. She was sold in 2008 to Estonian company Linda Line and was renamed KAROLIN. She was inserted on the Tallinn-Helsinki line in 2009, and remained there until 2017. She was sold in 2018 to Greek company Golden Star Ferries, and was renamed SUPERCAT. She was converted in Perama and Salamina, and was deployed in 2019 on the Piraeus-Milos-Folegandros-Santorini-Ios-Naxos-Mykonos line.
