The landing craft AGIOS GERASIMOS II was built in 1990 in Greece for the Greek company ANEM Ferries, as the OLYMPIOS APOLLON. She was deployed on the Samos-Fournoi-Ikaria-Leipsoi-Kalymnos-Western Kos line on the Dodecanese, where she remained for 22 years. In 2012 she was sold to the Lebanese Delegation to the United Nations in order to operate as a transporter of Lebanese military supplies. She was renamed CAROLYN and she was deployed on the Beirut-Naqoura line on the Levantine Sea. She remained in that role until 2016, when she returned to Greece, having been sold to the the Greek company Lixouri NE (based in Kefalonia), which became a part of the Taxiarchis joint venture that includes Ionian Sea Ferries and Ionion P Lines. She was renamed AGIOS GERASIMOS II, was converted in Perama, and, after one year of refit, she was deployed on the Kefalonia-Ithaca-Lefkada line on the Ionian Sea in 2017. In 2020 she was deployed on the Kefalonia-Ithaca-Astakos-Lefkada line. In 2022 her service was restricted to the Kefalonia-Ithaca line.
