Title: m/v Adriatica Queen - what happened between 2012 and 2014?
Post by: jolittn on December 15, 2014, 08:09:08 PM
I have tried to track the history of former Dana Regina (built in 1974 in Denmark, later Nord Estonia, Thor Heyerdahl and Vana Tallinn). I read from an Italian online magazine Ship2Shore (http://www.ship2shore.it/en/shipping/interchangeable-ferries-on-italo-albanian-links_47720.htm) that the ship began to operate between Bari and Durr

Hm, according to Fakta om Fartyg (http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/dana_regina_1974.htm) she operated between Bari and Durres from November 2011 and was laid-up in late July 2012 at Durres. Without re-entering service she was sold in December 2013 to Allferries SA which sold her for scrap to Aliaga in April 2014...

Don't know who is right as what you read at Ship2Shore is differing from the info at Fakta om Fartyg...

Cheers,
Jens

I also visited Fakta om Fartyg, but according to a Finnish website Matkustajalaivat.com (http://matkustajalaivat.com/Ferries/AdriaticaQueen1974/history.htm), she did operate after the summer of 2012. Would be interesting to know if someone had seen her between 2012 and 2014...

2011 11. Insatt mellan Bari - Durres.

2012 07 30. Upplagd i Durres, Albanien.

I checked Fakta om Fartyg again. According to it Adriatica Queen would have operated between Bari and Durr

ADRIATICA QUEEN seems to have been on the Durres-Bari route from 13/8/2011 until her arrival at Durres 13/4/2012, where she initially laid up.

7/5 sailed Durres for Bijela, arriving same day, remaining there until 15/7.

Then she returned to Durres-Bari until about the end of July.
