FIOR DI LEVANTE (ΦΙΟΡ ΝΤΙ ΛΕΒΑΝΤΕ) -Levante Ferries Built in 1998 (age 28). Registered in Piraeus. Current lines: Kyllini-Zakynthos and Kyllini-Kefalonia The amazing ferry FIOR DI LEVANTE was built in in 1998 South Korea, as the TREASURE ISLAND for the South Korean company Dong Yang Shipping Company. She began her career on the Busan-Jeju line on the Jeju Strait . She was renamed HYUNDAI SEOLBONG in 2000. Her company was renamed Dong Yang Express Ferry Company in 2005. She was seriously damaged by a fire which occurred while she was in Busan in 2011. Despite this, in 2012 she was purchased by the newly-established Greek company Levante Ferries, which is based in Zakynthos, and she was renamed FIOR DI LEVANTE. She was repaired in China and she underwent an extensive conversion, during which her entire appearance changed, her indoor areas were fully renovated, her outdoor areas were modified through the addition of sun decks, and her engines were upgraded. After two years of conversion, the ship was deployed on the Kyllini-Zakynthos line in late 2014, thereby quickly becoming the best ferry on the Ionian Sea as well as one of the best of the Greek coastal service. The ship received the 'Best Ferry in the World' award in 2016 by Shippax. The success of the FIOR DI LEVANTE led her company to purchase the IONIAN STAR of Tyrogalas Ferries in 2015 (which became the MARE DI LEVANTE), and this resulted in the end of the Ionian Ferries joint venture, and the beginning of a joint venture between Levante Ferries and Zante Ferries, namely Ionian Group, which lasted until 2019. The ship was also deployed on the Kyllini-Kefalonia line as a result, while also operating occasionally on the Kyllini-Kefalonia-Ithaca line in 2016 and 2017. Currently the youngest ferry on the Ionian Sea, she is unarguably the most exciting and most luxurious ship in the region. She is the flagship of Levante Ferries.

SUPERFAST XII (ΣΟΥΠΕΡΦΑΣΤ ΧΙΙ) -Superfast Ferries (2002-2018) current CRUISE AUSONIA of Grimaldi Lines Built in 2002 (age 24). Was registered in Piraeus. Current line: None in Greece, sold to Grimaldi Lines for service in Italy The cruiseferry SUPERFAST XII was the twelfth and final ship ordered by the Greek company Superfast Ferries between their establishment in 1993 and 2002. Her construction was completed in 2002 in Germany. She was deployed on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona line along with her sister ship, namely the SUPERFAST XI, and she also became her company's flagship. In 2004 only, she was on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Bari-Ancona line. She became very successful on the Adriatic Sea, further cementing the dominance of Superfast Ferries in the area. In 2009 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Heraklion line (and thus becoming the first-ever ship of Superfast Ferries to operate on the Aegean Sea), where she remained until 2013, when she returned to the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona line. In 2014 she began operating on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Cofu-Ancona line. In 2015 she was deployed on the Cyclades and on the Dodecanese, making it the first time that a ship of Superfast Ferries began service there, as she was inserted on the Piraeus-Syros-Amorgos-Patmos-Leros-Kos-Rhodes line. In 2017 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Amorgos-Patmos-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Rhodes line. Unfortunately, as part of the deal which saw Hellenic Seaways being taken over by Attica Group in 2018, she was sold to the Italian giants Grimaldi Lines, thus ending her tremendously successful spell with Superfast Ferries. She was renamed CRUISE AUSONIA and she was deployed on the Civitavecchia-Olbia line on the Tyrrhenian Sea. After her debut season for her new owners, she received scrubbers in Genoa in late 2018. In 2020 she was deployed on the Livorno-Olbia line, while in 2021 she was inserted on the Livorno-Palermo line. In 2023 she was placed on the Naples-Palermo line.

MILOS ROUND I (ΜΗΛΟΣ ΡΑΟΥΝΤ Ι) -Ilias Lines Built in 1992 (age 34). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (laid-up in Chalkida) The small passenger ship MILOS ROUND I was built in 1992 in Ukraine, as the GOGLAND for the Russian company Neva Reka. She operated on the St Petersburg-Neva line on the Neva Bay. In 1995 she was renamed JULIA III. In 1997 she was sold to the Greek company Ilias Lines, and she was renamed MILOS ROUND I. She was assigned to perform cruises around the island of Milos and to Kimolos on the Western Cyclades during the summer. In 2006 she was withdrawn from service, and she has since remained laid-up in Chalkida. Her future remains uncertain.

FESTOS PALACE (ΦΑΙΣΤΟΣ ΠΑΛΑΣ) -Minoan Lines ex-MYKONOS PALACE (ΜΥΚΟΝΟΣ ΠΑΛΑΣ), also of Minoan Lines (2018-2020) Built in 2002 (age 24). Registered in Heraklion. Current line: Piraeus-Milos-Heraklion The cruiseferry FESTOS PALACE was the last of a set of four ships ordered by the Greek company Minoan Lines between 2000 and 2002. She was completed in 2002 in Italy, as the EUROPA PALACE. She began service alongside her sister ship, namely the OLYMPIA PALACE (now the KNOSSOS PALACE), on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona line on the Adriatic Sea. Following the arrival of the newly-built CRUISE EUROPA and CRUISE OLYMPIA in 2009 and in 2010, respectively, the OLYMPIA PALACE and the EUROPA PALACE were deployed on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Venice line in 2010. Following the 2011 season, Minoan Lines closed the service, leaving both sister ships without an assigned area to operate. The EUROPA PALACE was temporarly deployed as a third ship on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona line, while the OLYMPIA PALACE was laid-up in Perama. Although the company wanted to deploy the two ships on the Piraeus-Chania line, they were instead chartered in 2012 to the Italian company Tirrenia Di Navigazione, being renamed AMSICORA and BONARIA, respectively. Both ships were deployed on the Civitavecchia-Olbia-Arbatax line, where they remained until 2017. In 2018 both ships returned to the Grimaldi Group. While the BONARIA was sold to Grimaldi Lines and became the CRUISE BONARIA, the AMSICORA rejoined Minoan Lines, being renamed MYKONOS PALACE, and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Chania line. In 2019, following a conversion in Malta, she became the first-ever ship in the history of the Greek coastal service to receive scrubbers. In 2020, as part of the reshuffling of the services of Minoan Lines in Crete, she was renamed FESTOS PALACE (thus becoming the second ship to ever have this name, after her fleetmate, namely the current KYDON PALACE) and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Milos-Heraklion line.

PANAGIA FANEROMENI (ΠΑΝΑΓΙΑ ΦΑΝΕΡΩΜΕΝΗ) -Kimolos Link (2006-2019) current BIJAGÓS I of Consulmar Bissau Built in 1993 (age 33 ). Was registered in Piraeus. Current line: None in Greece, currently in service for Consulmar Bissau in Guinea-Bissau The landing craft PANAGIA FANEROMENI was built in 1993 in Greece. She began her career with the Greek company Madalena I Shipping, operating on the Paros-Antiparos line on the Cyclades. She stayed there for the first 13 years of her career, before she was replaced by the newly-built AGIA MARINA ANTIPAROU in 2006. She was sold during that same year to Kimolos Link for operations on the Milos-Kimolos line, as a replacement for the veteran landing craft LEFKAS. She operated between the Northern port of Apollonia in Milos, and the island of Kimolos. In 2019, after 13 years on the service her company replaced her with the newly-built OSIA METHODIA. She was subsequently sold to the Guinea-Bissau-based company Consulmar Bissau, being renamed BIJAGÓS I. She entered service on the Bissau-Enxudé-Bubaque line on the Bijagós Archipelago. PHOTOS (2015): PANAGIA FANEROMENI Crossing the PANAGIA FANEROMENI near Milos, on her way to Kimolos. This was the only picture I ever took of the ship, as she was sold in 2019 to Consulmar Bissau (7/2015).

SAONISOS (ΣΑΟΝΗΣΟΣ) -Saos Ferries Built in 1994 (age 32). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Samos-Agathonisi-Farmakonisi-Arkioi-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Astypalaia The conventional ferry SAONISOS was built in 1994 in Japan, originally as a Ro-Ro carrier. She began service as the ROKKŌ EXPRESS for the Japanese company Kanku Cargo, and she was deployed on the Kobe-Takamatsu line. In 2000 she was sold to Higashi Nihonkai Ferry, a subsidiary of Higashi Nihon Ferry, and she was renamed LIBERTY BELL. She began service on the Wakkanai-Rishiri-Rebun line, where she remained until 2007. That year, she was sold to the Greek company Saos Ferries. She arrived in Drapetsona under the name LIBERTY B, and she was due to begin a conversion into a passenger ferry before entering service on the Aegean Sea. However, because Saos Ferries began to experience severe financial difficulties, plans to convert the ship were put on hold, and the ship was sent for lay-up in Elefsina in 2008, where she remained abandoned for five years. In 2013, after Saos Ferries finally managed to experience an economic recovery, the ship began her conversion in Keratsini, and she was renamed SAONISOS. Her conversion eventually lasted two years, and it was completed in 2015 in Perama, whereupon she received new passenger-oriented decks, new indoor lounge areas, new engines and sun deck areas. She was due to begin service in 2016 on the Alexandroupolis-Samothraki line, but she was eventually laid-up in Alexandroupolis due to paperwork issues. She was unable to enter service in 2017 for the same reason, and she was instead laid-up in Drapetsona during that time. She finally began service on the Alexandroupolis-Samothraki line in 2018, five years after her conversion began and 11 years after her purchase by Saos Ferries. In 2019 she suffered a major engine failure in Alexandroupolis, thus becoming the first of the three ships of Saos Ferries to experience technical issues in the middle of the high season, which left Samothraki isolated from mainland Greece. With Saos Ferries abandoning the line in order to begin operating on the Dodecanese, the SAONISOS arrived in Perama in 2020, and she underwent a small conversion whereupon she received new passenger and crew cabins. She was supposed to enter service on the inter-Cyclades lifeline in 2021, but instead she was laid-up in Lavrion. She eventually returned to service in 2023, as she was introduced on the Mantoudi-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line on the Sporades. In 2024 she was finally deployed on the inter-Cyclades lifeline, serving the Lavrion-Kea-Kythnos-Karystos-Andros-Tinos-Syros-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Donousa-Amorgos-Koufonisi-Schoinousa-Irakleia-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Thirassia-Santorini-Anafi line. Her spell there was however turbulent, as she grounded off in Folegandros and she had issues with the coastal authorities while loading in Andros. After being refitted once again, she was deployed on the Samos-Agathonisi-Farmakonisi-Arkioi-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Astypalaia lifeline on the Dodecanese in 2025.

That year, she was sold to the newly-established Greek company Petroula Speedline, being renamed PETROULA. She was deployed on the Perama-Salamina line in 2017. In 2018 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Salamina line, before returning to the Perama-Salamina line in 2019. She was laid-up in Salamina in 2020. In 2024 she was sold to Sporades Lines and she was deployed on the Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line, thus operating on a new inter-Sporades service.

GALAXY (ΓΚΑΛΑΞΥ) -A-Ships Management (2016-2026) Built in 1979 (age 47). Was registered in Limassol. Current line: None (sailing to Sohar to be delivered to new owners) The cruiseferry GALAXY was built in 1979 in Poland, as the SILESIA for the Polish company Polferries (the trading name of the Polish Baltic Shipping Company). She began service on the Gdańsk-Nynäshamn-Helsinki line, thus connecting Poland with Sweden and Finland on the Baltic Sea. In 1980 she was deployed on the Gdańsk-Karlskrona line, where she stayed for just one season. In 1981 she returned to the Gdańsk-Nynäshamn-Helsinki line. In 1983 she was chartered to the Tunisian company Tunisia Ferries (also known as Compagnie Tunisienne de Navigation, or COTUNAV), for whom she was deployed on the Genoa-Tunis line for three years, while from 1985 to 1986 she operated in a joint venture alongside the Italian company Grimaldi Siosa Lines (the predecessor of Grimaldi Lines). In 1986 she returned to Polferries and she was inserted on the Świnoujście-Copenhagen-Travemünde line. In 1989 she was deployed on the Świnoujście-Ystad line, while in 1997 she moved to the Świnoujście-Copenhagen-Rønne line. In 1999 she again returned to the Świnoujście-Ystad line, while in 2000 she headed to the Gdańsk-Nynäshamn line. In 2003 she once more resumed service on the Świnoujście-Ystad line, before being laid-up in 2005 in Świnoujście. She was sold later in that same year to the Greek company GA Ferries. She arrived in Perama after having been renamed FELICIA, but before undergoing a refit for her new owners, she was sold to the Ukrainian company UkrFerry. She was renamed YUZHNAYA PALMIRA and she began service in 2006 on the İstanbul-Odessa line, thus connecting Turkey with Ukraine through the Black Sea. In 2008 she was chartered to the Spanish company Iscomar and she was renamed BEGOÑA DEL MAR. She began service on the Valencia-Ibiza line on the Balearic Sea, where she stayed for one season, after which she returned to UkrFerry in 2009. She was once again renamed YUZHNAYA PALMIRA and she returned to service on the İstanbul-Odessa line. She was laid-up in Chornomorsk in 2010, and she stayed there until she was acquired later in that same year by the then-newly-established Italian company Adriatica Traghetti. She was renamed ADRIATICA I and she was deployed on the Bari-Durrës line on the Adriatic Sea in 2011. In 2013 she was chartered to the Moroccan company Inter Shipping for service on the Algeciras-Tangier Med line on the Gibraltar Strait, but after just a few days the charter ended prematurely, after which the ship was laid-up in Porto Empedocle. She was then due to be chartered to the Italian company Siremar for service between Sicily and the Aeolian Islands on the Tyrrhenian Sea, but she instead continued to remain laid-up in Porto Empedocle. She remained there until late 2016, when she was sold to the Greek company European Seaways. She was renamed GALAXY and, following a refit in Drapetsona, she entered service in 2017 on the Zakynthos-Kefalonia-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Brindisi line on the Adriatic Sea. In 2018 she was chartered to Africa Morocco Link and she operated on the Algeciras-Tangier Med line. During that same year, European Seaways was rebranded as A-Ships Management. The ship was chartered to Inter Shipping for the second time in 2019, although this time she operated successfully on the Algeciras-Tangier Med line. She returned to A-Ships Management in 2020, and she entered service on the Brindisi-Vlöre line. In 2023 she was chartered to the Italian company Caronte & Tourist, for whom she operated on the Porto Empedocle Lampedusa line. In 2024 she again returned to A-Ships Management for service on the Brindisi-Vlöre line. In 2025 she remained laid-up in Perama, although later in the year she was chartered to the Faroese company Strandfaraskip Landsins, for whom she was deployed on the Tórshavn-Tvøroyri line on the Faroe Islands Archipelago.

VITSENTZOS KORNAROS (ΒΙΤΣΕΝΤΖΟΣ ΚΟΡΝΑΡΟΣ) -LANE Sea Lines (1994-2020) Built in 1976, scrapped in 2020 (age 44). Was registered in Agios Nikolaos. A historic Greek ferry, the VITSENTZOS KORNAROS was built in 1976 in Denmark, as the VIKING VISCOUNT for the British company Townsend Thoresen. She began service between Belgium and the United Kingdom on the North Sea, namely on the Zeebrugge-Felixtowe line. In 1986 she was deployed on the Le Havre-Portsmouth line on the Channel. She was transferred to P&O European Ferries (known as P&O Ferries since 2002) in 1987, being inserted on the Cherbourg-Portsmouth line. She was renamed PRIDE OF WINCHESTER in 1989. She continued service on the Channel, always on the Cherbourg-Southampton line, until 1994. That same year she was sold to the newly-established Greek company LANE Lines (which became LANE Sea Lines in 2006), which was based in the region of Lasithi in Crete. She was converted in Piraeus and in Perama, being renamed VITSENTZOS KORNAROS, and she was introduced on the Piraeus-Milos-Agios Nikolaos-Siteia line. Following a successful first summer, her service was extended to the Piraeus-Milos-Agios Nikolaos-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos lifeline in 1995, and then to the Piraeus-Milos-Agios Nikolaos-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos-Chalki-Rhodes-Castellorizon lifeline in 1999. In 2003 she began operating on the Piraeus-Milos-Santorini-Heraklion-Agios Nikolaos-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos-Chalki-Rhodes-Castellorizon lifeline. Between 2004 and 2007, she operated on the Piraeus-Milos-Santorini-Heraklion-Agios Nikolaos-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos- Chalki- Rhodes-Castellorizon lifeline, as well as on the Alexandroupolis-Samothraki-Limnos-Mytilene-Chios-Samos-Kalymnos-Kos-Rhodes lifeline on the Northeast Aegean Sea and on the Dodecanese. In the summer of 2008 she solely operated on the Piraeus-Milos-Santorini-Heraklion-Agios Nikolaos-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos- Chalki-Rhodes-Castellorizon lifeline. In 2009 she was transferred to the Peloponnese and Kythira-Antikythira lifelines, in order to cover the area which had been abandoned by the company ANEN Lines due to financial difficulties faced by the latter. She began service on the Piraeus-Gytheion-Kalamata-Kythira-Antikythira-Kissamos-Rethymnon lifeline. She remained there in 2010, while also simultaneously operating on the Piraeus-Milos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Santorini-Anafi line on the Cyclades. In 2011 her lifeline itinerary was modified with the addition of the port of Monemvasia, which meant that she operated on the Piraeus-Monemvasia-Gytheion-Kalamata-Kythira-Antikythira-Kissamos lifeline. She collided with the EUROPEAN EXPRESS of NEL Lines in Piraeus that same year. After the summer of 2013 she left the Piraeus-Milos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Santorini-Anafi line in order to fully commit to the Peloponnese and Kythira-Antikythira lifelines, and she also stopped making calls in Monemvasia. She was therefore on the Piraeus-Gytheion-Kalamata-Kythira-Antikythira-Kissamos lifeline for the rest of her career. She grounded off in Kasos in 2015, while also colliding with that same island's pier in 2016. In 2017, shortly after returning from her refit to her summer service on the lifeline, she suffered a major engine failure which kept her out for the entire summer. LANE Sea Lines saw their subsidy contract on the lifeline being revoked, and the ship was subsequently laid-up in Salamina. In 2020, after three years of lay-up and 26 legendary years in the Greek coastal service, she was sold for scrap to Turkey, leaving Greece at the age of 44.

AEOLOS KENTERIS II (ΑΙΟΛΟΣ ΚΕΝΤΕΡΗΣ ΙΙ) -NEL Lines Built in 2001 (age 25) . Registered in Mytilene. Current line: None (laid-up in Salamina) The high speed ferry AEOLOS KENTERIS II was ordered in 1999 by the Greek company NEL Lines, together with two other high speed ferries, namely the AEOLOS EXPRESS and the AEOLOS KENTERIS. She was built in 2001 in France as the AEOLOS EXPRESS II, and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Amorgos line and on the the Piraeus-Kea-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line on the Cyclades, with the latter service being discontinued in 2002. Just like it was the case with all the high speed ferries of NEL Lines, her service was met with mixed reviews, as she encountered various technical problems and her company struggled to maintain her properly, while competitors fared much better. As a result of her unprofitability and her engine issues, she was laid-up in Lavrion in 2005, along with her fleetmate, the AEOLOS EXPRESS. She moved to Piraeus in 2006, where she remained under lay-up. After two years, the two ships were reactivated in 2007, and they were renamed AEOLOS KENTERIS II and AEOLOS KENTERIS I, respectively. The former was deployed on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos line. In 2008 she collided with the RODANTHI of GA Ferries in Piraeus, but she was repaired and she spent the first part of the summer on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos line, before being subsequently chartered to the Egyptian company Namma Lines, for whom she was deployed on the Safaga-Jeddah line on the Red Sea. After the summer season ended, she returned to NEL Lines and she was deployed on the inter-Cyclades lifeline that was being served by the PANAGIA TINOU, thus serving the Lavrion-Kea-Kythnos-Andros-Tinos-Syros-Paros-Naxos-Donousa-Amorgos-Koufonisi-Schoinousa-Irakleia-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Thirassia-Santorini-Anafi lifeline. She remained in this service until the end of the 2011 season, whereupon she was replaced by the AQUA SPIRIT (today the NORTHERN SEA WOLF of the Canadian company BC Ferries). She was subsequently laid-up in Salamina due to her continuous technical issues, her unprofitable services combined with the financial difficulties of NEL Lines. The company eventually ceased operations in 2015, after which the ship was seized by the Piraeus Port Authority over unpaid debts. Her future remains uncertain.

TAXIARCHIS D (ΤΑΞΙΑΡΧΗΣ Δ) -Dakoutros Speed Built in 2016 (age 10 ). Registered in Santorini. Current line: Santorini-Nea Kameni-Palaia Kameni The small high speed boat TAXIARCHIS D was built in 2016 in Greece, entering service for the Greek company Dakoutros Speed, also known as the Santorini Boatmen & Mooring Services, alongside her sister ship, namely the ELEFTHERIOS D, and the slightly larger PELAGOS. The three ships had been ordered following the successful introduction of the first three small high speed boats (namely the IOANNIS D in 2013, and the PRESTIGE and the FANTASIA in 2014) in Santorini by Dakoutros Speed. Like all of her fleetmates, the TAXIARCHIS D mainly operates between Santorini and the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palaia Kameni, and she also helps transport passengers from cruise ships to Santorini. Two more sister ships (namely the THEOSKEPASTI and the KALLIOPI) were built in 2017, followed by the much larger MEGA STAR and SEA STAR in 2019 and in 2020, respectively.

BLUE CARRIER 1 (ΜΠΛΟΥ ΚΑΡΡΙΕΡ 1) -Blue Star Ferries Built in 2000 (age 26). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Piraeus-Syros-Paros-Naxos-Santorini-Samos-Kos-Rhodes-Chania The Ro-Ro carrier BLUE CARRIER 1 was one of four sister ships ordered by the Dutch-British company Norfolkline, which was a subsidiary of the Danish giants Maersk Group. She was built in 2000 in China, and she began service as the MAERSK ANGLIA on the Scheveningen-Felixstowe line, thus connecting The Netherlands with the United Kingdom via the Channel. In 2006 she was moved to the Vlaardingen-Felixstowe line, where she remained until 2009. That year, she was transferred to the Irish Sea, being deployed on the Heysham-Dublin line. In 2010, Norfolkline was sold to the Danish operator DFDS, which meant that the company's entire fleet would be transferred to DFDS Seaways, including the MAERSK ANGLIA. She was renamed ANGLIA SEAWAYS and she continued to operate on the Heysham-Dublin line. In 2011, she was chartered to the British company Seatruck Ferries and she continued to serve the Heysham-Dublin line, until 2012, when she was deployed on the Heysham-Warrenpoint line. Her charter ended in 2014 and she returned to DFDS Seaways. She was deployed on the Kiel-Travemünde-Klaipeda line, connecting Germany with Lithuania via the Baltic Sea. In 2015, she returned to the Channel, being deployed on the Rotterdam-Hoek van Holland-Killingholme-Immingham line. She remained there until 2019, when she was sold to the Greek company Blue Star Ferries, becoming the first-ever Ro-Ro carrier in the history of the company. She was bought in order to cover the freight needs of the Cyclades, the Northeast Aegean Sea and the Dodecanese during the summer. After being renamed BLUE CARRIER 1, and being refitted in Keratsini, she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Santorini-Ikaria-Samos-Kalymnos-Kos-Rhodes line. In 2020 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Ikaria-Samos-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Rhodes line. In 2024, following the arrival of the BLUE CARRIER 2, she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Samos-Santorini-Chania line. In 2025 she operated on the Piraeus-Syros-Paros-Naxos-Santorini-Samos-Kos-Rhodes-Chania line.

ALKINOOS (ΑΛΚΙΝΟΟΣ) -Kerkyra Lines Built in 2002 (age 24 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Igoumenitsa-Corfu The landing craft ALKINOOS was built in 2002 in Greece, as the AMALTHEIA for the Greek company Evoïkos Lines. She was their second newly-built ship in two years, following the OSIOS DAVID which was delivered in 2000. The AMALTHEIA was deployed on the Arkitsa-Aidipsos line on the North Evoian Gulf, and she joined the Aidipsos Ferries joint venture which included her company, Kaptan Stavros NE, Gavanozis Shipping and Aidipsos Shipping, until Evoïkos Lines began to operate independently in 2011. In 2013 she moved to the Glyfa-Agiokampos line, also on the North Evoian Gulf, and she remained there until 2016. That same year, she also performed some trips on the Agios Konstantinos-Skiathos line in order to transport additional trucks on the Sporades. In 2017, she and the OSIOS DAVID were sold to Kerkyra Lines, and they were renamed ALKINOOS and MENEKRATIS, respectively. After a small conversion in Perama, the ALKINOOS began service on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu line on the Ionian Sea. She was part of the Kerkyra Ferries joint venture which included her company and 2way Ferries from 2005 to 2023. PHOTOS (2022): ALKINOOS The ALKINOOS seen heading from Corfu to Igoumenitsa (9/2022).

SUPERRUNNER JET II (ΣΟΥΠΕΡΡΑΝΝΕΡ ΤΖΕΤ ΙΙ) -Sea Jets Built in 1999 (age 27). Registered in Limassol. Current line: None (under refit in Drapetsona) The high speed ferry SUPERRUNNER JET II was built in 1999 in France, as the GOTLAND for the Swedish company Destination Gotland, which was the new name of Rederi Ab Gotland when the latter rebranded itself in 1998. The first high speed craft to have been built for her company, she began service on the Nynäshamn-Visby-Oskarshamn line on the Baltic Sea. In 2003 she was renamed GOTLANDIA. In 2006, despite the arrival of the company's second newly-built high speed ferry, namely the GOTLANDIA II (today the GOLDEN PRINCESS of Golden Star Ferries), the GOTLANDIA continued to operate on the Nynäshamn-Visby-Oskarshamn line, but in 2007 she moved to the Visby-Grankullavik line, thus linking the island of Gotland with the island of Öland. In 2011 she returned to the Nynäshamn-Visby-Oskarshamn line, where she remained until 2016. In 2017 she was deployed on the Västervik-Visby line, while in 2018 she served the Nynäshamn-Visby-Västervik line. In 2019 she was deemed to surplus requirements by her company, and she was laid-up in Visby. She remained there until 2023, when she was sold to the Greek company Sea Jets. She arrived in Greece as the SUPERRUNNER JET II, and she underwent a refit in Chalkida. She initially began operations on the Piraeus-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line on the Cyclades, before then serving the Lavrion-Kea-Kythnos-Syros-Tinos-Andros-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Sikinos-Folegandros-Kimolos-Milos-Sifnos-Serifos lifeline in place of the SPORADES STAR, after the latter saw her season being cut short after she ran aground in Syros. In 2024 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Milos-Chania line. In 2025 she operated on the Piraeus-Kythnos-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos line on the Western Cyclades.

AERIA (ΑΕΡΙΑ) -Thassos Ferries ex-ORION III (ΩΡΙΩΝ ΙΙΙ ) of Farmakoris-Villiotis NE (2018-2023) Built in 2018 (age 8). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Keramoti-Thassos The double-ended ferry AERIA was ordered in 2017, as the ORION III by the Greek company Farmakoris-Villiotis NE, right after her sister ship and former fleetmate, namely the ORION II, was sold to the Mexican company Ultramar during her own construction. She was completed in 2018 in Greece, and she was inserted on the Perama-Salamina line. In 2019 she was deployed on the Megara-Salamina line, before heading back to the Perama-Salamina line in 2020. In 2021 she was deployed on the Rion-Antirrion line, while in 2022 she returned to the Perama-Salamina line. In late 2023, the ORION III was sold to Thassos Ferries and she was renamed AERIA. She began service on the Keramoti-Thassos line in 2024. PHOTOS (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023): ORION III The ORION III resting in Salamina (8/2020). ORION III The ORION III resting in Salamina (8/2020).
