Fight the pirates is Speedferries answer to P&O and Seafrance. They are the Easyjet of cross channel ferry services.
The ship is Incat hull 045, ex Jervis Bay of the Australian Navy. She then went to Tris of Italy running between Genoa and Sardinia. I was on the delivery of her from Genoa to Portland, UK where she had a new gearbox fitted on the port inner main engine. The old one had wiped out, taking most of the engine room plates with it and shearing the Coupling! We were still doing 30 knots on three engines in a force ten through Bay of Biscay! Went past the Prestige as she was foundering.
