  • 2,700 lane metres
  • Length: 191m
  • Beam: 26m

• Until recently, ML FREYJA was chartered by Mann Lines (now owned by Wallenius SOL) in Northern Europe, calling at Bremerhaven, Zeebrugge, Tilbury, Cuxhaven, Paldiski, and Turku.
• She has been replaced by the newly built SOUTH ENABLER, also delivered by Cantiere Navale Visentini.
