Скачать или смотреть Silja Line Ferry GTS Finnjet - 70 Hours on the Finland Ferry (Report 1996)

A German report (English subtitles) about the Silja Line ferry GTS Finnjet in service on the Travemünde - Helsinki route between Germany and Finland in June 1996.

The Finnjet was put into service in 1977 and was the fastest ferry in the world when it entered service, taking just 22 hours to complete the route between Helsinki and Travemünde.

From 1977 to 1986, the Finnjet sailed under the flag of the Finnlines shipping company on the Helsinki -Travemünde route.

From April 1987, the ship sailed the route in the colours of the Silja Line shipping company.

In the winter of 1997, the Finnjet switched to the Helsinki - Tallinn route for the winter season.

In the summer of 1998, the ship returned to the Helsinki - Travemünde route for the summer season.

After that, the Finnjet always travelled on the Helsinki - Tallinn route in winter and on the Rostock - Tallinn - Helsinki route in summer.

In 2005, the Finnjet operated the new Rostock - Tallinn - St. Petersburg route from April to September.

The Finnjet then went to the USA as a residential ship and was sold in 2008. The ship was initially renamed Da Vinci and was to be operated in the Mediterranean, but was sold on to an Indian shipbreaking yard and renamed Kindom and scrapped in Alang in 2008.
