Mona's Isle (6) (1984-1985)

 

Free Enterprise III was built in 1966 by I.C.H. Holland, Werf Gusto Yard, Schiedam, Holland, for Townsend Brothers Ferries' Dover-Calais service. From 1967 Free Enterprise III also operated Dover-Zeebrugge. In 1968, ownership passed to Townsend Thoresen. During summer 1974, she spent time on the Cainryan-Larne route. In summer 1981, Free Enterprise III operated between Portsmouth-Cherbourg. Free Enterprise III was sold in 1984 to Maltese owners Mira Shipping Line, Valletta, as the Tamira, but returned to UK waters later the same year as the Mona's Isle of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Co. After rebuilding with additional accommodation, Mona's Isle entered service between Heysham-Douglas in April 1985, but was not a success. Laid up in October 1985, Mona's Isle was sold to Egyptian owners Sadaka Shipping in 1986 as the Al Fahad. She was wrecked in 2004, near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
