[[File:Traghetto Bari.jpg|thumb|''Bari'' operating at the port of [[Bari]] in 2019.]]
'''MS ''Bari''''' was a ferry built in 1980 as the ''St Anselm''<ref name="simplon">{{cite web|url=http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/PandO-StenaLine.html#anchor79200|title=''Stena Cambria''|publisher=SimplonPC.co.uk|accessdate=28 June 2010}}</ref> for [[Sealink]]. 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 Harbour|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 [[MS Stena Fantasia|''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, [[SNCF|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, East Sussex|Newhaven]]-[[Dieppe, Seine-Maritime|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"/>
==Sister ships==
''Bari'' has three sister ships;
* {{MS|Stena Caledonia||2}}
* {{MS|Stena Antrim||2}}
* {{MS|Stena Galloway||2}}
