Description
M/S Holtlink




Information, specifications, etc.

History (fictional!)

Early years

The ship's type wasn't really a new thing - ships like her were already being used from the 1960s (SW Time). This type of vessel was first created in the Sawyer Isles to connect up the various beaches there. The ship wasn't ever anything special either, she was the 3rd ship of this type for Sawyerlink. First envisioned in 1997 (SW Time), her plans called for a small car ferry capable of carrying 2 - 3 smaller vehicles. The ship's keel was laid in September of 1999 (SW Time), and her building was finished in early April of 2000 (SW Time), when she was launched from the Olsen Bay docks. Only 2 months later, the ship entered service with Sawyer Link.

Career

The vessel's career with Sawyer link wasn't much out of the ordinary, except for some incidents, which these ships would get into quite often (see accidents and incidents). After 19 rather profitable years with the Sawyer link company, the ferry was sold to Olsen Express in August of 2019 (SW Time). There, the ship didn't have the best, career, suffering bad maintenance, and later seeing the company going bankrupt in 2026 (SW Time). At this time, she was old and tired, and after 2 years of having no owners, the ship was sold to a company in multiplayer island. The ship served for 3 more years, until in December of 2031 (SW Time), when she grounded near Olsen Bay, broke up, and was salvaged for scrap.
