​

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 was deployed on the Beirut-Naqoura line on the Levantine Sea. She maintained that role until 2016, when she returned to Greece, having been sold to the Kefalonia-based company Lixouri NE, which is part of the Taxiarchis joint venture that also includes the companies 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 2020 she was deployed on the Kefalonia-Ithaca-Astakos-Lefkada line. In 2022 her service was restricted to the Kefalonia-Ithaca line.
