As of 2013, three ships (Finnpartner and Finntrader) are operated on Finnlines' routes connecting Finland and Sweden to Germany, while two ships (Euroferry Sicilia, Euroferry Olympia) sail with Grimaldi Ferries in the Mediterranean.

[1] The Hansa-class ships were built mainly as freight-carrying vessels, but they also provided a daily passenger-transporting service between Finland and Germany, in direct competition with GTS Finnjet, a former Finnlines ferry then owned by Silja Line.

Following the delivery of new Star-class ships for the Helsinki–Travemünde service in 2006 and 2007 MS Finntrader and MS Finnpartner were taken off the Finland–Germany service and rebuilt at Remontowa, Poland with bow gates and additional cabin spaces.

After the refit, on 19 February 2007, Finntrader began service on Finnlines' Malmö–Travemünde route.

Finnpartner was rebuilt with similar modifications and joined Finntrader on the Malmö–Travemünde service in July 2007.
