MS Finn Opera
MS Finn Opera is a cruise ferry that operates for Finnish Ferries. The Ship was delivered in 1992 It has served many major routes along the Baltic Sea, connecting Finland, Åland Islands, and Sweden. Her home port is Mariehamn, Åland Islands.
History
The ship was built in 1992 and started operating on the Helsinki-Mariehamn-Stockholm route with her sister ship Finn Harmony. The ship entered service and replaced another ship operating on that route called MS Finn Majesty (Built in 1985)
Finn Opera, which had better, and more modern layout designs and passenger areas, symbolized the modernization of Finnish Ferries' service from Helsinki to Stockholm during the end of the 1980s and start of the 1990s.
In 1997 Her sister ship the MS Finn Harmony was permanently switched to the Turku-Stockholm route, being replaced by a larger, newer ferry.
Throughout its life, the ship has been subject to several refits with the aim of ensuring compliance with safety as well as enhancing reliability. the works undertaken on Finn Opera concentrated on the technical parts, and on the interior, which was modernized through the years
Incidents
During her long operation, MS Finn Opera has registered a small number of incidents, which would be expected in a ship of her age and type.
Car deck fire incident
During the 1990s, there was smoke that was detected on the car deck due to a mechanical problem with one of the vehicles crossing. The crew quickly acted, and the safety features on board were deployed. The incident was resolved without any injuries and structural damage.
Loss of electric power
In the early 2000s, the Finn Opera briefly blacked out while she was out at sea. The power came back quickly.
Design and development
Finn Opera was built to be functional, comfortable and reliable. She was slightly bigger compared to the older ships in the Finnish Ferries fleet, measuring 90 meters long and 16.25 meters wide.
The extra five meters in length compared to the older Finn majesty, coupled with the use of bow doors rather than the conventional visor, made it possible for the superstructure to be extended further ahead. This longer superstructure enabled the ship to offer greater space inside the ship.
The ship is configured into eight decks as follows:
Decks 1-2: Machinery spaces and technical areas below the waterline, cheap cabins
Decks 3–4: Car deck
Decks 5 – 7: These decks hold the cabins and lounges of the passengers.
Deck 8: Skybar and bridge
Interiors
MS Finn Opera has had her interiors modernized throughout the years. The refits done on the ship through the years covered maintenance, comfort upgrades and couple of renovation works.
Facilities
Onboard facilities provided for passenger and crew use on MS Finn Harmony are spread between Decks 5 to 7:
Deck 5: Information desk, Tax Free Store, and Passenger cabins.
Deck 6: Main public areas, which include a buffet restaurant, à la carte restaurant, night club.
Deck 7: Pub and cabins for crew and passengers.
Deck 8: Skybar and bridge
Sister ship
MS Finn Opera has one sister ship, MS Finn Harmony, which is older and lacks the skybar on deck 8. This pair of ferries has the same hull design, deck plan, and operating principles, indicating the standardized design trend for ferries in the late 1980s.
Comparative characteristics between the sister ships
Finn Opera has a Skybar, which is midship on Deck 8, featuring a raised lounge area for passengers with overview views. It is absent on the Finn Harmony, where the space is used for the frbs' and outdoor seating.
Visually, the two ships feature different paint schemes that reflect the evolution of the Finnish Ferries branding. The Finn Opera has received an updated paint scheme, while the Finn Harmony has maintained its original paint scheme.
Internally, the Finn Opera had updated interior designs, featuring current materials, lighting, and furnishings. On the other hand, the Finn Harmony maintained the majority of their original interior designs from the late 1980s, thus giving her the characteristic traditional onboard ambiance.
Current status
Currently, MS Finn Opera is in operation with Finnish Ferries on the route from Helsinki to Stockholm via Mariehamn. Although it has been around for some years, it is still appreciated for its reliability and charm as a ferry.
