between June and August of the same year as a freight-carrying ship. At the end of the charter Fennia returned to Vaasa for another lay-up. 2001–2007 In February 2001, Fennia was sold to the Finnish RG Line for traffic between Vaasa and Umeå (RG Line had won the bid for subsidiaries from the Finnish State for that route). On 1 May 2001, Fennia was renamed for the first time during her career, into Casino Express. RG Line planned to gain additional income from the onboard casino, but this proved highly unpopular and was removed during the same year.It soon became evident that in the new situation Casino Express was too large a ship to operate profitably in year-round traffic, even with state subsidiaries. In 2002 RG Line planned to register the ship as a freighter during the winter season to cut costs, but the plan fell through as the ship was not in a good enough condition to be approved as a freighter in the Finnish ship registry. As a result, the ship was reregistered into Umeå in September 2002. In January 2003 the ship docked in Kopli, Estonia. After the ship returned to traffic, traces of asbestos — that should have been removed before the ship returned to traffic — were found on her car deck. In February and March of the same year difficult ice conditions led to cancellation of several departures. On 24 November 2004, Casino Express was grounded while entering the port of Umeå due to high winds. All passengers and some of the crew were evacuated during the following night, and during the following three days all cars carried on board were transported to shore. On 5 December the ship was finally refloated and sailed to Tallinn, Estonia for repairs. After repairs were completed, Casino Express resumed traffic in May 2005. However, by this time RG Line had another ship, RG 1 in traffic, and it was decided that in August, at the end of the 2005 summer season, Casino Express would be laid up and put for sale. 2007–2009 On 8 July 2007 the ship was reported to have been sold for scrap, but two days later it was reported that the ship had instead been sold to new owners from St. Vincent and the Grenadines who plan to use the ship for traffic around the Caribbean. She was renamed C. Express, but remained
