As I recall she brought Sealink's (as it was then) fast catamaran Our Lady Patricia from Hobart, Tasmania, to Europe for the Ryde-Portsmouth passenger route. However, I can't remember if she offloaded OLP at a Continental port or called into Southampton.

Oh and she carried Hadley markings on her funnel all throughout her life as Mata K!

I had a long and very enjoyable stint aboard her in 1995 and 96, when she was the Mata K. She was freshly dry docked and her holds sandblasted in preparation for a time charter that lasted about 16 months mainly carrying grain from Quebec to Europe and voyages from Europe to China and back. A very spacious and stable she she was.
