Starting life on the Dover-Calais, she operated with Ventouris Ferries in her last routes in the Mediterranean.
==Sealink== ''Bari'' started her career as the ''St Anselm'', order by and for Sealink services in the English Channel.<ref name="holyhead"/> She was launched at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast<ref name="holyhead"/> on 5 December 1979 and completed her maiden voyage on 27 October 1980.<ref name="holyhead"/>
After two years in service, on 31 December 1982,<ref name="holyhead"/> the ''St Anselm'' returned to Belfast for a £750,000 extension to her aft decks.<ref name="holyhead"/> This extension provided an enlarged duty-free shopping area and additional accommodation, increasing her tonnage by {{GT|402}} to {{GT|7,405}} and her passenger capacity to 1,400.<ref name="holyhead"/> On 28 March 1983 during her trip back to Dover through the Irish Sea, the ''St Anselm'' was temporarily brought into service on the Fishguard-Rosslare route following the failure of {{MS|Stena Normandica||2}}{{'}}s engines.<ref name="holyhead"/>
In 1990, the ''St Anselm'' was displaced from the Dover-Calais route by Sealink{{'}}s acquisition of the ''Fantasia'', the ''St Anselm'' instead took up a service operating between Folkestone and Boulogne.<ref name="holyhead"/> Not long after this transition, Sealink was acquired by Stena Line, in 1991 the ''St Anselm'' was transferred to Holyhead,<ref name="holyhead"/> being renamed the ''Stena Cambria'' as a refit relief during February and March,<ref name="holyhead"/> briefly returning to Dover before resuming service in the Irish Sea in July that same year.<ref name="holyhead"/>
==Stena Line== In July 1995, SNAT announced they would be terminating the pooling agreement that had been in place with Stena Sealink Line, which as a result, dropped the "Sealink" name, becoming just Stena Line. As a result of the loss of the two French vessels, Stena Line transferred the ''Stena Cambria'' and the ''Stena Empereur'' back to the Dover-Calais route for the 1996 season.<ref name="hhv2">{{cite web|url=http://www.hhvferry.com/stan2.html|title=MS ''Stena Cambria'' Part Two|publisher=HHVFerry.com|accessdate=28 June 2010}}</ref> In March 1997 she provided refit relief in Stranraer and on 3 May 1997 became the last conventional ferry to sail out of Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead having provided overhaul relief for the {{HSC|Stena Explorer||2}}.<ref name="holyhead"/> In March 1998 she transferred to the Newhaven-Dieppe route under the newly formed P&O Stena Line, staying there until the routes withdrawal in January 1999.<ref name="hhv2"/>
==Post P&O Stena Line== Following the routes withdrawal in January 1999, the ''Stena Cambria'' was laid up in Zeebrugge awaiting sale,<ref name="hhv2"/> eventually being purchased by UMAFISA, entering service for them between Barcelona and Ibiza that November<ref name="hhv2"/> as the ''Isla de Botafoc''. In August 2003, UMAFISA and the ''Isla de Botafoc'' were acquired by rivals, Balearia.<ref name="hhv2"/> She continued services with Balearia to Ibiza and Menorca<ref name="hhv2"/> until her eventual sale to Ventouris Ferries of Greece in 2010, briefly being renamed ''Winner 9'' and then to the ''Bari''.<ref name="ferrysite"/>
