Tallink’s First LNG-Powered Ro-Pax Ferry

MS Megastar is a fast ro-ro/passenger (ro-pax) ferry built by the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland, for the Estonian shipping company Tallink. The 230-million-euro vessel is the first ship in Tallink's fleet to use liquefied natural gas (LNG). The ferry will be followed by her sister MS MyStar who is currently being built at RMC in Finland.

The construction of Tallink's new car ferry began on 4 August 2015, and the keel was laid on 9 February 2016. On 1 July 2016, the ship was given the name Megastar, chosen from 21,550 naming proposals following a public naming contest by President Tarja Halonen. The vessel was floated out on 15 July, and the sea trials were scheduled for late 2016. The ship was delivered on 24 January 2017.

The restaurants and bars are located mainly on decks 8 and 9. The interiors of the restaurant and bar areas are created by the acknowledged Finnish designer Vertti Kivi. The bars were built by LMG Finland, part of Loipart Group, who also did Turn-Key installation of the galleys serving all restaurants.

After its completion and handover to Tallink, the vessel began providing from late January 2017 six times a day Tallinn-Helsinki-Tallinn service.
