Svea Scarlett
Svea Scarlett - Eckerö - St Ola
 
 
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Scandinavian Ferry Lines vessel Svea Scarlett, which later served as the Eckerö Linjen ferry Eckerö and P&O Scottish Ferries' St Ola.
 
Svea Scarlett was built in 1971 by Meyer Werft, Papenburg-Ems, for the Skandinavisk Linietrafik Landskrona-Tuborg Havn service. In 1980 Svea Scarlett was sold to partners A/S D/S Öresund, Denmark, for a Malmö-Tuborg Havn route, but was sold in 1982 to Rederi Ab Eckerö, Eckerö, Finland, as the Eckerö. She was rebuilt with additional accommodation before entering service on the Eckerö-Grisslehamn route in 1982. In 1991 Eckerö was sold to P&O Scottish Ferries, and entered service the following year as the St Ola between Stromness-Scrabster. Following the transfer of the Orkney and Shetland services to Northlink in 2002, St Ola was sold for service between Virtsu-Kuivastu in Estonia.
