Jolly Blue

The Jolly Blue is a cargo ship operated by Messina Line between Tunis, Gioia, Tauro and Naples.

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

[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.

It briefly returned to service while repairs were performed on Victorian Reliance II.

It was sold in 2020 to Messina Line, renamed Jolly Blue and began operating on the Mediterranean Sea between Tunis, Gioia, Tauro and Naples.
