The “Sansovino” is the second one of
three near sisters built at Fincantieri yards of
Palermo and Ancona between the end of 80’s and the beginning of 90’s for Adriatica di Navigazione of
Italy. Specially designed to operate on Jugoslavia
routes, the ferry was then employed almost everywhere on Adriatica
services: Greece, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro sailing both from Ancona and
Bari ports. After the massive reduction of Adriatica
services the ferry became redundant, so she was due to charter market: the
first time to Siremar, then on June 2004, to Adria
Ferries. This time the “Sansovino” represented an enormous paradox which should
be at least embarassing for the Adriatica
management of that time: an Adriatica ferry, full
chartered to the former Adriatica port agent, being
employed on a route abandoned because of unprofitability, became incredibly
profitable in the hands of a private operator. At the end of the charter, the
vessel was back to Adriatica, which was absorbed by Tirrenia, then transferred to Tirrenia’s
subsidiary Siremar, without being renamed. After
three years spent between service periods and frequent lay-ups, the ferry was
sold to the Greek Shipowner Gourdomichalis, which
deployed the ferry between Italy (Bari) and Albania (Durres) as the “Santa
Maria I”. Having been laid up for a big period, in 2010 was sold and renamed “Adriatica King” for a new company, Albanian Ferries, and
since 2014 is back in the hands of Siremar, again
with “Sansovino” name.
