HSC Max Mols is a high speed catamaran launched on 1 December 1997 at the Incat shipyard in Tasmania. [3] She has spent the majority of her career serving the Aarhus- Odden route with Mols Linien. She has frequently been chartered to other operators in the Baltic Sea and English Channel.
Initially chartered to Cat-Link as Cat-Link IV she entered service between Århus and Kalundborg in May 1998. [3] The following January her charter passed to Mols Linien and she was thus renamed Max Mols, entering service on her standing Århus- Odden route in April 1999. [3] She has since had three major charters each for the summer seasons of 2000, 2002 and 2004 before returning to Denmark. In 2000 she operated between North Sydney and Channel-Port aux Basques for Marine Atlantic, in 2002 she was chartered to Riga Sea Line for a route between Riga and Nynäshamn and her final charter was to P&O Ferries as the Max Mols (Caen Express) operating a high speed service between Portsmouth and Caen, returning to Mols Linien at the end of October. [3] Since 2004, she has continued operating the Århus- Odden route as before. [3]
