Former Ivan Zajc plying the Black Sea

Former Ivan Zajc still in Jadrolinija liverey plying the Black Sea

There is a report on Turkish Deniz Haber website of the commissioning of the ferry "Beşyıldız", which is the former "Ivan Zajc", sold earlier this year by Croatian company Jadrolinija. The amazing thing is that apparently the "Beşyıldız" is plying the Black Sea bearing Jadrolinija's funnel marking and brand name. Here is the link to this page:

The same report and picture are on the websites of other Turkish media, all published on different dates. Is there somebody out there who's able to establish the date when the "Beşyıldız" was commissioned please? And on which route she is operating? The port of registry Giurgiulesti is in Moldova.

Regards, Anton
