-Speed Service Waterbus
ex-SALAMIS EXPRESS III (ΣΑΛΑΜΙΣ ΕΞΠΡΕΣ ΙΙΙ) of Salamis Express (2001-2024)
Built in 2001 (age 24). Registered in Chalkida. Current line: None (under refit in Salamina)
The small passenger ship NEFELI was built in 2001 in Greece, as the SALAMIS EXPRESS III for the Greek company Salamis Express, for service on the Perama-Salamina line (reaching the port of Paloukia). She spent 22 years there, usually alongside her fleetmate, namely the SALAMIS EXPRESS I. She was laid-up in Salamina in 2023. In 2024 she was sold to Speed Service Waterbus, and she was renamed NEFELI. She started performing daily cruises on the Palaia Epidavros-Agistri-Aegina line on the Saronic Gulf.
