-Fast Ferries

​

The conventional ferry FAST FERRIES ANDROS was built in 1989 in Japan. She began service as the SHINKO MARU for the Japanese company Nippon Kaiun, being deployed on the Kobe-Takamatsu line. She was sold in 2000 to the Taiwanese company King Fung Ma and she was renamed KING HUNG. She was bought in 2003 by the newly-established Greek company Strintzis Ferries. She was converted in Perama, being renamed EPTANISOS, and she began service on the Kyllini-Kefalonia line on the Ionian Sea. In 2011 she switched itineraries with her fleetmate, namely the KEFALONIA, therefore going to the Patras-Kefalonia-Ithaca line. Strintzis Ferries however ceased operations in 2012, and both the EPTANISOS and the KEFALONIA (now operating for Levante Ferries) were laid-up in Drapetsona. The EPTANISOS was then laid-up in the Elefsina Bay from 2013 to 2015, despite many comeback attempts. She was sold to Fast Ferries in 2015 and she was renamed FAST FERRIES ANDROS. She underwent a major refurbishment in Elefsina, and she was deployed on the Rafina-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos line on the Cyclades. In 2016 she was deployed on her company's main service, namely on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line. After the 2017 season ended, she was chartered to Blue Star Ferries, being temporarily deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos line as a replacement for the BLUE STAR PATMOS that was undergoing repairs following her accident in Ios. After operating there for four months, she returned to her usual service on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line. In 2021 she started serving the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros line.
