The Greek Paxos Island Maritime has taken over Mercandia VIII from Öresundslinjen, with the 1987-built (by North East Shipbuilders in the English Sunderland) ferry leaving Landskrona, where she was laid up, for Piraeus.

The 95.8 by 15 metres ro-pax, renamed Corfu Star, offers room for about 400 passengers and 290 lane metres for wheeled cargo/cars.
