From  April  to  September  1998  the  Finnish  Silja Shipping  Line  leased  the  British
                   registered roll-on roll-off ferry MIS  Stena Invicta for service on the Vaasa to Umea
                   route.  She  had  been employed  on  the  cross  Channel  service  between Dover and
                   Calais since 1991. The ship was re-named the MIS Wasa Jubilee and as it was British
                   registered, British stamps could be used on mail posted on board.

                   In 1999 the Wasa Jubilee was sold to the Norwegian Color Line for use on the ferry
                             service between Sandefjord in Norway and Stomstad in Sweden.
