This is a beautifully detailed model made by the highly regarded maker Albatros has been long out of production. MS Olau Hollandia was the first newbuild for Olau Line. Up until that point the company had operated with used ships purchased or chartered from other companies. The Olau Hollandia and her sister MS Olau Britannia were more than twice the size of the largest ferries operated by Olau before that point. The Olau Hollandia was built to be “NATO-compatible”, so that she could easily be converted to a troopship if required. She was also built with a thicker hull than normal, enough to be classified under Finnish ice class 1 A Super for service on the Baltic Sea without any structural changes to her hull.
On 21 March 1981 the Olau Hollandia was delivered to her owners, and four days later she started operating on Olau Line’s Sheerness (United Kingdom)–Vlissingen (the Netherlands) route.
