and Spirit of Tasmania II were built as the Greek ferries
Superfast III and Superfast IV, in 1998. They are
29067grt, 194.4m long, and carry 1400 passengers and 1852 lane
metres of vehicles. They were acquired in 2002, and replaced
the previous Spirit of Tasmania, which was then made available
for sale.

- Spirit
of Tasmania I
and Spirit of Tasmania II were joined by Spirit of
Tasmania III (ex-Superfast II) in 2003 which revived
the longer Sydney-Davenport route from January 2004. This was
not profitable and she was sold in 2006 to Corsica Ferries who rebuilt her and
renamed her Mega
Express Four.
