Built in 1977, at the Aalborg Shipyard in Denmark, St. Columba was originally a Sealink UK ferry, operating between Holyhead and Dún Laoghaire in the Irish Sea.

The Captain praised the work of the staff on board the ferry in preventing the spread of the fire, and keeping the passengers safe and re-assured.

In 1996, with the introduction of the HSS fast ferries, Hibernia was again re-named, this time as Stena Adventurer, with the intention of her moving to the English Channel to serve the Dover to Calais route.

This move, however, never materialised, and Stena Adventurer was sold to Agapitos Express Ferries of Greece.

Masarrah was beached as Asarrah at Gadani Ship Breaking Yard, Pakistan, on the morning of 2 December 2021 for scrapping.
