Volcan de Tacande (2000- )

 

Volcan de Tacande was built as the Stena Danica by Brodogradiliste Jozo Lozovina Mosor, Trogir, Yugoslavia, one of four similar ships delivered to Stena Line between 1972-74. Stena Jutlandica and Stena Danica carried 1800 passengers with 105 berths on the shorter Göteborg-Frederikshavn route, whilst Stena Olympica and Stena Scandinavica carried 1500 passengers with 870 berths on the longer Göteborg-Kiel route. The former pair were later enlarged with the addition of a second full-height trailer deck by Stena, whereas the the latter pair were stretched with new centre sections by subsequent owners.

 

Stena Danica entered service with Stena Line in 1974 between Göteborg and Frederikshavn. In 1977, a second full height car deck was added, after which she returned to the Göteborg-Frederikshavn route. In 1981 Stena Danica was renamed Stena Nordica. In 1983 Stena Nordica was chartered to Regie voor Maritiem Transport, Oostende, Belgium (RTM), for service between Oostende-Dover. In 1984, Stena Nordica was renamed Stena Nautica. The RTM charter ended in 1986, and Stena Nautica was transferred to Stena Cargo and laid up in Göteborg.

 

In 1987, Stena Nautica was chartered to SNCF for service between Newhaven-Dieppe as the Versailles. She was purchased the following year. In 1992 Versailles was chartered to Sealink Stena Line as the Stena Londoner, remaining on the Newhaven-Dieppe service. The charter was ended in 1996, and Stena Londoner moved to the Dover-Calais route with SeaFrance as the SeaFrance Monet. She suffered from recurrent engine problems, and spent much of her time laid up at Dunkerque. In 2000 SeaFrance Monet was sold to Naviera Armas S.A. and sailed to Vigo for refurbishing, re-entering service on Canary Islands services as the Volcan de Tacande in September 2000.
