Jolly Express

The Jolly Express is a cargo ship operated by Messina Line between Tunis, Naples and Genoa.

The Jolly Express was built by Samsung Heavy Industries as the Tasmanian Achiever for Brambles Shipping for use on Bass Strait services between Melbourne and Burnie, along with sister ship Victorian Reliance.

[3] When CMA CGM, parent company of Australian National Line, withdrew the Bass Trader from the Melbourne to Bell Bay route in 2009, it entered into a joint venture to transfer cargo to the Toll ships.

In March 2019 it was replaced by the larger Tasmanian Achiever II.

It was sold to Messina Line, renamed Jolly Express and began operating on the Mediterranean Sea between Tunis, Naples and Genoa.
