The company's subsidiary Tallinn Swedish Line handed over the 1972-built 1,000 lane metres of capacity ro-ro to the new owners on 26 April 2022 in Tallinn's Paljassaare Harbour.

Tallink Grupp has rearranged its schedules following the sale. The 2,087 lm ferry Regal Star has been shifted from the Kapellskär-Paldiski service onto the Muuga-Vuosaari route according to Sea Wind's schedule. The 1,400 lm ro-pax Sailor has thus remained alone on the Kapellskär-Paldiski connection, though now serving extra departures.

"We are of course sad to see our grand old lady Sea Wind, who is 50 years old this year, leave our fleet, but we are pleased that she has a new life ahead of her and that she will continue sailing on other seas with the new owners. I would like to thank the crew for taking such good care of her over the many years, ensuring she has many years of sailing still ahead of her," Paavo Nõgene, CEO of Tallink Grupp, said.

Sea Wind started operating under the Estonian flag in 2015: first serving the Tallinn-Vuosaari and then the Muuga-Vuosaari link.
