I asked Cornelia (COKL) if she could help. She did. Here is her response
Re: Ex Spirit of Tasmania III
Hello Clydee,
here is a link about the Spirit of Tasmania III. It got sold to Corsica ferries. The site is an excellent ferry-site but it is in Swedish, sometimes you can make out what the text is about. http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/superfast_II_1995.htm All the best,
Cornelia
Your Swedish may be better than mine, but anyway there is much interesting information to view. I have thanked Cornelia
Yours
Clyde
