The last ferry delivered to Linee Marittime dell’Adriatico was also
built by Apuania Yards of Marina di Carrara in 1970. She’s a little bigger than
the earlier fleet mate “Tintoretto” and hadn’t the bow visor and ramp; on her
ten years of service for Linee Marittime dell’Adriatico was linking the
Adriatic ports of Pescara and Split, a service maintained also in 1981 after
the sale to Adriatica. For the Italian State-owned company
she served both on winter services replacing the “Tiepolo” linking Trieste and
Ancona with Zadar and Ancona and Bari to Split and Dubrovnik; on summer instead
the home port is again Pescara, sailing five times a-week to Split and once
from Split to Ancona. After thirteen years of services under Adriatica colours
she remained on Ancona – Split line, but under the Jadrolinija livery and “Ivan
Zajc” name. This service remained unchanged throughout the years, calling
sometimes also at Stari Grad and at Korcula island, and being also used on the
long route along the Dalmatian coast, leaving from Rijeka and arriving at
Dubrovnik calling enroute in Zadar, Split and various islands, sometimes
calling also at Bari. After a short spell on Croatian domestic routes, recently
she was back to her original service, the Pescara – Split link. On Adriatica
days she was fitted also with swimming pool, probably removed by Croatians,
having myself never noticed it when I met her in Ancona. During April 2009 was
sold to a Turkish company, being renamed “Besyildiz” and engaged under Moldovan
flag in connecting Russia and Turkey; this spell of her life was anyway far
shorter than the ownership periods of Linee Marittime dell’Adriatico, Adriatica and Jadrolinija,
because she was sold only 15 months later to an Equatorial Guinea company which
renamed her as “Asaba 2”, probably linking the
Capital of that country, Malabo, on Bioko Island, to the mainland port of Bata.
