On 2 February 2026, RoPax A NEPITA (ex-SUPERFAST X) of Corsica Linea arrived at the Perama repair zone to undergo a series of modifications to her ramps and visor, reflecting her new operational role.
The vessel has been chartered for five years by Canadian operator Marine Atlantic and will replace the older RoPax LEIF ERICSON (1991) on the North Sydney–Port aux Basques route. Marine Atlantic previously chartered her sister vessel ATLANTIC VISION (ex-SUPERFAST IX), which operated on the same route between 2008 and 2024.
