The conventional ferry KERKYRA EXPRESS was built in 1991 in Japan. She began her career as the NEW HIYAMA under the Japanese company Higashi Nihonkai Ferry, a subsidiary of Higashi Nihon Ferry, being deployed on the Esashi-Okushiri line. In 2008 the company was rebranded as Heart Land Ferry. In 2010 the ship was sold to the Greek company ANENDYK Ferries (known as ANENDYK Seaways since 2022) and she was renamed SFAKIA I. She became the first-ever conventional ferry in the history of the company, and she was planned to operated in Southwestern Crete and potentially linking the island with Egypt. However, these projects never materialised and the ship instead remained laid-up in Chania for four years. In 2014 she was sold to the Corfu-based company Kerkyra Lines. She was renamed KERKYRA EXPRESS and she underwent a conversion in Amaliapolis and then in Perama, and she began service in 2015 on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Paxoi line on the Ionian Sea. Since 2022 she has been operating solely on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu line. She has been the flagship of Kerkyra Lines since her entry to service for the latter in 2015.
