EMPEDOKLIS (ΕΜΠΕΔΟΚΛΗΣ)
-Aianteiaki NE (2016-2024)
current OBANG for CNNII
Built in 2016 (age 9). Was registered in Piraeus. Current line: None in Greece (sold to CNNII for service in Gabon)
The double-ended ferry EMPEDOKLIS was ordered in 2010 by the Greek company Aianteiaki NE. She was initially planned to be deployed on the Piraeus-Aegina line on the Saronic Gulf, but her construction was stopped in 2012 due to a lack of funds and the impact of the Greek financial crisis. She was launched in 2013, but she remained laid-up in Salamina for the next 3 years. After finally securing the necessary funds, her owner resumed her construction and she was completed in Greece in 2016. She was deployed on the Perama-Salamina line. In 2024 she was sold to the Gabonese company CNNII (also known as Compagnie Nationale de Navigation Intérieure et Internationale) and she was initially renamed IB ATLANTIC I. Upon her arrival in Gabon, she was renamed OBANG and she began service on the Libreville-Port Gentil line.
