The MDV 1200 class fast ferry is a class of six vessels built for by Fincantieri in Italy. Four of these vessels were for Sea Containers, with the other two vessels being for Ocean Bridge Investments. ==History== The MDV1200 craft were built for Ocean Bridge Investments, and were delivered in 1996 (''Pegasus One'') and 1997 (''Pegasus Two'') respectively. The MDV1200II craft were built for Sea Containers. The first two craft (''SuperSeaCat One'' and ''SuperSeaCat Two'') were delivered in 1997, the third and fourth craft (''SuperSeaCat Three'' and ''SuperSeaCat Four'') followed in 1999. Originally built for operating on the English Channel, the venture was operated by Hoverspeed. The ''SuperSeaCat'' operation didn't last on the Channel, as in 1998 the ''SuperSeaCat Two'' went on operations with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for a year. The following year the ''SuperSeaCat Three'' operated for the Steam Packet, undertaking her Maiden Voyage with the company between Liverpool and Dublin. Since then, the ''SuperSeaCat One'', ''Three'' and ''Four'' operated for Silja Line. In 2003, the ''SuperSeaCat Two'' went on a long-term charter to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. In 2005, the first of the quartet, the ''SuperSeaCat One'', was sold to Acciona Trasmediterránea, as the ''Almudaina Dos''. It was revealed in 2008 that Sea Containers Ltd had sold the ''SuperSeaCat Three'' and ''Four'' to Aegean Speed Lines, who operate the two ships on their usual Helsinki-Tallinn route. It was also revealed in 2008 that the ''SuperSeaCat Two'' would operate as the ''Viking'' for the remainder of her charter to the Steam Packet. In 2009, the ''Viking'' was sold to Hellenic Seaways and renamed ''Hellenic Wind''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MDV 1200-class fast ferry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
