This ferry was part of an order for four ro/ros placed to various Italian yards by Lloyd Triestino, a company of Finmare Group which was operating cargo services between Italy and Africa; this vessel, after her delivery in 1981 sterted linking Genoa with Dakar, in Senegal, and Abdijan, in Ivory Coast. In the years 1987 and 1988 Tirrenia, the main Finmare company, decided to rebuild her three cargos (“Staffettoni class”) and the three near sisters of the present vessel to passenger vessels; to fit the lacking of cargo vessels, Tirrenia took over the three Japanese-built ro/ro sisters of Adriatica and this ferry, which left her original name “Julia” for the new name “Campania”, according to the new way of Tirrenia to name their cargos after Italian districts. Being operated on various services, was finally deployed to LeghornCatania line; this service and the ferry were however transferred to Adriatica in 2001. After the incorporation of Adriatica Navigazione by Tirrenia, even before the ferry would be back in Tirrenia colours, was laid up in Genoa due to mechanical troubles in June 2005, and in August of the same year was put up for sale. The “Campania” find a buyer in November 2005, being acquired by Al Salam shipping of Egypt. After a period of operations for El Salam Shipping under the unlikely name of “Guido”, was then chartered to Balearia for their services and, in 2007, sold to Ustica Lines as their “Carlo Morace”, where she spent her last four years linking Leghorn to Trapani, Sicily and Tunis before being sold for scrap. The only “trouble” of my “ship-spotter” career is related to this ship: after having entered Varco Galvani, where the ferry was moored, just after when I was ready to shot the ship a very nasty man shouted me and the friend which was beside me and forced us to leave the port area, as long as I had made a terrible crime. Wouldn’t be a good idea to allow the “poor ship spotters” to enter the port areas without any trouble after presenting an Identity Card or a Passport? In fact I think that it’s a good fact that someone make photos to ferries!
