She was launched on 3 August 2001, [3] and delivered to her owners on 10 July 2002. Her Sister ship is Superfast XII, which is deployed on the same route. Superfast XI is the 11th in a series of 12 similar ferries built for Superfast ferries at various ship yards in Northern Europe.
Service history
