Unity Line sells WOLIN to A-Ships Management

By 2025 Newsletter week 12

On 18 March 2025, Unity Line delivered its RoPax WOLIN to the Athens-based A-Ships Management. The vessel has been renamed GOLDEN CARRIER.

Originally built in Norway in 1986 as a pure train/cargo ferry for SweFerry, she initially operated on the Helsingborg–Copenhagen route under DanLink as the ØRESUND. In July 2000, she was reassigned to the Copenhagen–Malmö route operated by Scandlines. A year later, in 2001, she was sold to Sea Containers and sent to Landskrona/Remontowa shipyard (Gdańsk) for conversion into a RoPax ferry, a process completed in 2002.

Following her conversion, she was chartered to SeaWind Line, renamed SKY WIND, and deployed on the Stockholm–Långnäs–Turku line until August 2007. She was then sold to Unity Line and operated on the Świnoujście–Trelleborg route as WOLIN until 31 January 2025.

The ship is expected to arrive in Greece in early April, where she will undergo minor modifications before entering service on the Adriatic route in June. GOLDEN CARRIER has a capacity for 370 passengers and 1,770 lane metres, with a service speed of 18 knots.
