Information About

Abel Tasman (ship)




The Abel Tasman first went back to her builders yard for a refit, and for a large box-like structure to be added to the stern of the ship. She then sailed to Australia, starting on the Devonport-Melbourne route.

In 1993 she was laid up following the arrival of the much larger ''Spirit of Tasmania''. In 1994 she was sold to Ventouris Ferries and re-named the ''Pollux''. In 1995 she was again sold, this time to Maritime Co. of Lesvos and operated by Nel Lines, re-named ''Theofilos''. In 1986 the ''Peter Pan'' (2) was renamed ''Robin Hood'' to free the name for the larger ''Peter Pan'' (3) (later ''Spirit of Tasmania''). In 1997 she was sold to Minoan Lines and re-named ''Fedra''. In 2004 she was transferred over to Hellas Ferries, then sold to Sea Hawk Marine, operated by COMANAV. Later that year she was re-named ''Guido'' for a short time. She was then bought by Messrs, Funtots, S.A. and re-named ''Ouzoud'', she then operated under COMANAV on the 48 hour route from Morocco to Italy. EL SALAM MARITIME now have the ship in Egypt
