The MS Pascal Lota (ex Superstar) is a fast ferry owned by the Corsica-based Corsica Ferries - Sardinia Ferries. She was built in 2008 at the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona, Italy.[1]
Concept and construction
The design of the Superstar is based on Moby Lines' MS Moby Aki.[1] The original order included an option for a second ship of the same type, which Tallink decided not to exercise.[2]
The keel of the vessel was laid on January 18, 2007.[3] On October 5, 2007, the Superstar was christened by the Estonian tennis player Kaia Kanepi.[4] The ship was delivered on 8 April 2008[5] and left Ancona for the Baltic Sea a day later.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Service history
Superstar entered service on Tallink's Helsinki–Tallinn route on 21 April 2008.[1] On 30 April 2008 the ship suffered a hydraulics problem while leaving Tallinn, and one Tallinn–Helsinki roundtrip had to be cancelled.[6] On 27 February 2009, while en route from Tallinn to Helsinki with 400 passengers on board, the ship's main engines stopped due to problems with the cooling systems at 8:45 am. The ship was adrift for nearly two hours, with emergency generators providing electricity, until full power could be restored at 10:30 am. Superstar arrived in Helsinki at 11:30, two hours behind schedule.[7][8]
Design
The green external livery of the ship is according to Tallink promotion material "meant to reflect the environmentally friendly aspects of the ship's design".[4]
The onboard facilities include a three-deck high showlounge, four restaurants, cafeteria, two bars, a casino, a business lounge and various shops.[4]
