History
She is one of four ships built by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, Germany. Progress was the first new build to be completed; the last is expected to be launched in June 2012.
Progress was launched on 19 August 2011 and was christened by Karen Donaldson, the Head of Finance at Seatruck. The ship was completed in November 2011 and was delivered to Seatruck in December.
On 20 December 2011, Progress made her maiden voyage for Seatruck.
In September 2012, Progress went on charter to DFDS before returning to service with Seatruck on the Liverpool - Dublin route.
In September 2022, CLdN bought out Seatruck Ferries' shares from the Clipper Group and as a result the whole fleet was also bought. Seatruck Ferries became defunct in February 2024, with all vessels being incorporated into the CLdN fleet.[3][4]
She was renamed Progress in March 2025 to be fully incorporated into the CLdN branding.
