  • Macedon | greekpassengerships

    MACEDON (ΜΑΚΕΔΩΝ) -Goutos Lines Built in 1972 (age 54). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Lavrion-Kea-Kythnos A historic Greek ferry that has now spent 50 years on the Aegean Sea under 6 different owners, the legendary MACEDON was built in 1972 in Japan, as the FERRY NANKAI 1 for the Japanese company Nankai Chuo Ferry. She spent her first four years serving the Senboku-Shizuki line on the Akashi Strait. She was acquired in 1976 by the Greek company Epirus Line and she was renamed EPIRUS II, and she was intended to operate on the Adriatic Sea. She underwent her conversion in Perama, and in early 1977 she began operations on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Bari line on the Adriatic Sea, but after just a few months she was transferred to Polemis Epirus Line, and she was renamed CHRYSSI AMMOS I. She was instead deployed on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line on the Cyclades and on the Rafina-Marmari line on the Petalioi Gulf. Following the sinking of her fleetmate, namely the CHRYSSI AVGI, in 1983, her company ceased operations and the ship was laid-up in Rafina. However she was bought by Peace Line in 1984, and she was renamed ANAX. Despite undergoing the first stages of a conversion in Perama, she never operated for Peace Line, and she was subsequently sold to Goutos Lines in 1985. She was renamed KYTHNOS, and she operated from 1985 to 1988 on the Rafina-Andros-Syros-Tinos line and on the Rafina-Kymi-Skyros-Agios Efstratios-Limnos-Kavala line, before transferring to the Rafina-Kea-Skyros-Agios Efstratios-Limnos-Kavala line in 1989. In 1992 she was sold to Nomicos Lines, being renamed MACEDON, and she was deployed on the Agios Konstantinos-Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line on the Sporades. She underwent a conversion in Perama in 1994, during which her bow was remodeled. Her company was transferred to Minoan Flying Dolphins in 1999, and the MACEDON operated under the Hellas Ferries division in 2000, before switching to the Sporades Ferries division in 2001. In 2002 she was once again bought by Goutos Lines, and she was deployed on the Lavrion-Kea-Kythnos line, where she has been remaining ever since.

  • Zeus | greekpassengerships

    ZEUS (ΖΕΥΣ) -Gaspal Maritime Company Built in 1980 (age 46). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (laid-up in Elefsina) The landing craft ZEUS was built in 1980 in Greece, as the NIKOS P for the Greek company Nikos P NE. She was deployed on the Rion-Antirrion line. In 1983 she underwent a conversion in Perama, during which she was lengthened and her accommodation superstructure was remodeled. She was subsequently deployed on the Arkitsa-Aidipsos line on the North Evoian Gulf. In 1998 she was sold to the Italian company Traghetti Delle Isole and she was renamed ZEUS. She began service on the Trapani-Favigana-Levanzo-Marettimo line, thus connecting Sicily with the Aegadian Islands via the Tyrrhenian Sea. In 2017 she was sold to the newly-established Greek company Gaspal Maritime Company, thus making a comeback to Greece after 19 years. She kept her name, and following a conversion in Perama, she was deployed once again on the Rion-Antirrion line. After three seasons, her company ceased operations in 2020, and the ship has since remained laid-up in Elefsina.

  • Superstar | greekpassengerships

    SUPERSTAR (ΣΟΥΠΕΡΣΤΑΡ) -Sea Jets Ferries ex-SUPERFERRY II (ΣΟΥΠΕΡΦΕΡΡΥ ΙΙ) of Golden Star Ferries (2 011-2021) Built in 1974 (age 52 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos The legendary SUPERSTAR, formerly known as the SUPERFERRY II, considered to be the greatest day ferry in Greek coastal service history, and which spent over 30 years connecting Rafina with the Cyclades, was built in 1974 in Belgium. She was initially known as the PRINCE LAURENT of the Belgian company Regie voor Maritiem Transport (RMT), which was part of the British conglomerate Sealink. She entered service on the Ostend-Dover line. She collided with a quayside of Dover in 1978, but she was quickly repaired afterwards. She was transferred to Townsend Thoresen in 1985. She was then transferred to P&O European Ferries in 1987, and she continued to serve the Ostend-Dover line. Her company then traded as Oostende Lines in 1991. She was sold in 1992 to the Greek company Strintzis Lines and she was renamed IONIAN EXPRESS. She underwent a major conversion in Perama, whereupon her garage was enlarged, while she underwent a full renovation of her indoor areas (including the removal of several cabins), and she had a remodeled bow, an improved stern and also new balconies added above her bow. She was ultimately renamed SUPERFERRY II and she began service in 1993 on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Syros-Astypalaia-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Rhodes line on the Cyclades and on the Dodecanese, before remaining solely on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Syros line in 1994, where she went on to be a massive success. She remained with Strintzis Lines until the latter was taken over in 2000 by Attica Group, with the new company being named Blue Star Ferries. She remained in service on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line for the next ten years, initially under the Blue Ferries division from 2000 to 2004 and then under Blue Star Ferries from 2004 to 2010. She also occasionally operated on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos line when her fleetmates would undergo their annual winter refits. In 2010 she collided with the main pier of the port of Tinos, thus ending her Blue Star Ferries career. She was subsequently bought by the newly-established Greek company Golden Star Ferries, which is based in Andros. After a small conversion that included the addition of a new bulbous bow in Piraeus, she began service in 2011 on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Naxos line, where she was once again extremely successful. She returned to Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line in 2013. With the arrival of her new fleetmate, namely the SUPERFERRY, in 2016, she was deployed on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Naxos-Paros line. She returned to the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line in 2017, after having undergone a major renovation in Perama. The following year, she and the SUPERFERRY were deployed together on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Ios-Santorini-Heraklion line, thus marking the first-ever connection of Rafina with Crete. In 2019, she and the SUPERFERRY were deployed on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Santorini-Heraklion line. In 2020 she was deployed on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros line. In 2021 she returned to the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Naxos-Paros line. Later in that same year, she was sold to Sea Jets, and she was renamed SUPERSTAR. She resumed service on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros line in 2022. In 2023, after 30 successful seasons in Rafina, the ship was deployed on the Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line on the Sporades.

  • Stickers | greekpassengerships

    MAGIC 1 (ΜΑΤΖΙΚ 1) -Magic Sea Ferries current YOUR MAGIC of Gozo Fast Ferry B uilt in 2023 (age 3). Was registered in Limassol. Current line: Under charter to Gozo Fast Ferry The high speed catamaran MAGIC 1 was built in 2023 in Indonesia, as the MAJESTIC JOY for the Singaporean company Majestic Fast Ferry, being one of many sister ships that were delivered to the company as part of their fleet renewal plan. She was deployed on the Singapore-Batam line, thus linking Singapore with Indonesia via the Singapore Strait. In 2024 she was sold to the Greek company Magic Sea Ferries and she was renamed MAGIC 1. She became the first ship of the company to operate on the Saronic Gulf, as she was deployed on the Piraeus-Northern Aegina-Hydra line (serving the port of Agia Marina in Aegina). Her introduction to service was deemed satisfactory, and it resulted in her company deploying two larger high speed catamarans previously owned by Majestic Fast Ferry, namely the MAGIC 2 and the MAGIC 3, which began service in 2025. That same year, after being prevented from operating on the Sporades, the MAGIC 1 was chartered to the Maltese company Gozo Fast Ferry, being renamed YOUR MAGIC. She began service on the Valletta-Gozo line on the Maltese Archipelago.

    IONIAN DOLPHIN (ΙΟΝΙΑΝ ΝΤΟΛΦΙΝ) -Mitsoulis Cruises Built in 1967 (age 59). Registered in Corfu. Current line: Syvota-Antipaxoi-Paxoi-Corfu The small passenger ship IONIAN DOLPHIN was built in 1967 in Greece, as the ELENI F of Elena F Shipping, having been ordered together with her sister ship, namely the DIMITRIOS F. Both ships belonged to a generation of many small passenger ships that were built for service on the Saronic Gulf from the 1960s to the late-1970s, which were called 'Koulouriotika'. They were deployed on the Piraeus-Salamina line. In 1981 the ELENI F was sold to Panou Shipping. She was renamed MOSCHOS EXPRESS and she operated on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri line on the Saronic Gulf. In 2001 she was sold to Mitsoulis Cruises, which is based in Corfu, and she was renamed IONIAN DOLPHIN. She has since been performing daily cruises on the Ionian Sea, along the Syvota-Antipaxoi-Paxoi-Corfu line. PHOTOS (2022): IONIAN DOLPHIN The IONIAN DOLPHIN seen in Corfu (9/2022).

    ANNA II (ΑΝΝΑ ΙΙ) -Antoniou Cruises Built in 1991 (age 35 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Isthmia-Aegina-Agistri-Poros The small passenger ship ANNA II was built in 1991 in Greece for the Greek company Antoniou Cruises. She has spent her entire career on the Saronic Gulf, performing daily cruises on the Isthmia-Aegina-Agistri-Poros line. Her service is unique, as she does not depart from Piraeus or from Floisbos like other passenger ships do, but from Isthmia, which is a port located right next to the Corinth Canal.

  • Adamantios Korais | greekpassengerships

    ADAMANTIOS KORAIS (ΑΔΑΜΑΝΤΙΟΣ ΚΟΡΑΗΣ) -Fast Ferries Built in 1987 (age 39 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Alexandroupolis-Samothraki-Limnos-Agios Efstratios The impressive ferry ADAMANTIOS KORAIS was built in 1987 in Japan, as the VISVA for the Japanese company Higashi Nihon Ferry, alongside a sister ship, namely the VENA. Both ferries were deployed on the Aomori-Hakodate line. The VISVA, however, was sold in 1999 to the Japanese company Kyushi Orange Ferry, whereupon she was renamed KYUSHU. She was subsequently deployed on the Yawatahama-Usuki line, where she remained until 2007. That year, she reunited with her sister ship, the VENA, when both ferries were acquired by the Greek company Zante Ferries, being renamed ADAMANTIOS KORAIS and ODYSSEAS ELYTIS, respectively. The ADAMANTIOS KORAIS arrived initially in Zakynthos, then underwent an extensive conversion in Drapetsona and in Salamina, which lasted almost a year. The ship was completely modified, with her aft section being entirely remodeled, while her indoor areas were fully renovated. Upon the completion of her conversion in late 2008, she was deployed on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line on the Cyclades, thus becoming the first ship of Zante Ferries to operate on the Aegean Sea, and also becoming the company's flagship. Because of the high cost of her conversion, the ODYSSEAS ELYTIS never underwent her own and she remained laid-up in Zakynthos before being finally sold in 2013 to the Indonesian company PT Munic Line. In 2009, the ADAMANTIOS KORAIS was transferred to the Western Cyclades lifeline, operating on the Piraeus-Kythnos-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Kimolos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Santorini line. She also cooperated with the ferry operating on the same line at the time, namely the AGIOS GEORGIOS (later the PANAGIA TINOU) of Ventouris Sea Lines, under the joint venture Cyclades Ferries, which lasted from 2010 to 2014. The ADAMANTIOS KORAIS has been among the best day ferries in Greece since her arrival on the Aegean Sea, and she won the hearts of the residents of the Western Cyclades islands that she served for 10 years. In 2020 she moved to the Northeast Aegean Sea, as she was deployed on the Alexandroupolis-Samothraki-Limnos line. In 2025, after Zante Ferries was acquired by Fast Ferries, the ADAMANTIOS KORAIS joined the latter together with the DIONISIOS SOLOMOS. She continued to operate on the Alexandroupolis-Samothraki-Limnos line. PHOTOS (2017, 2018, 2019, 2023): ADAMANTIOS KORAIS The ADAMANTIOS KORAIS having just entered the port of Ios (7/2017).

  • Alkinoos | greekpassengerships

    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).

    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.

  • Kissamos | greekpassengerships

    KISSAMOS (ΚΙΣΣΑΜΟΣ) -ANEK Lines ex-BLUE GALAXY (ΜΠΛΟΥ ΓΚΑΛΑΞΥ) of Blue Star Ferries (2015-2024) Built in 1992 (age 34). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (under drydock in Elefsina) The cruiseferry KISSAMOS was built in 1992 in Japan, as the HERCULES for the Japanese company Higashi Nihon Ferry. She began her career on the Naoetsu-Muroran-Iwanai line, where she stayed before her sale to the Greek company ANEK Lines in 1999. Originally renamed KRITI V, she was instead renamed LEFKA ORI during her conversion in Perama. She began service on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Trieste line on the Adriatic Sea in 2000. She was then deployed on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Venice line from 2005 to 2011. There, the ship, along with her sister ship, namely the SOPHOCLES V (now known as the KYDON), was very successful and much-appreciated by passengers. However, in 2012, the Greek financial crisis pushed ANEK Lines to charter the two ships to the South Korean company Jeju Cruise Line, with a purchasing option. The latter planned to rename the LEFKA ORI to ANTONIO L. She arrived in Busan, but she and her sister ship never began service there, as the company collapsed due to debts owed to the shipyards that were supposed to convert them. After being laid-up in Busan for a year, the two ships returned to Perama. In late 2014, the LEFKA ORI began a conversion, whereupon it was announced that she had been transferred to Blue Star Ferries in 2015. She was renamed BLUE GALAXY, hence becoming the second ship in the history of the company to bear that name (after the legendary IONIAN GALAXY of Strintzis Lines, which became the BLUE GALAXY when the latter company was purchased by Attica Group in 2000), and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Chania line, under the ANEK-Attica Group joint venture. In 2023 she operated on the Piraeus-Samos-Kos-Rhodes line on the Dodecanese. In 2024, following the takeover of ANEK Lines by Attica Group, the BLUE GALAXY rejoined her former owners and she was renamed KISSAMOS. She was deployed on the Piraeus-Heraklion line. In 2025 she was back on the Piraeus-Chania line. PHOTOS (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024): BLUE GALAXY The BLUE GALAXY in Piraeus (7/2015).

She stayed there until 2011, the year during which she was sold to Voutirakos Cruises, which is based in Zakynthos. She has since been operating on daily cruises around the island of Zakynthos, while also making some crossings to the island of Marathonisi, and sometimes in Kefalonia on the Ionian Sea. She also serves as a floating restaurant and bar during evenings. All her cruises are pirate-themed, thus making her quite an impressive ship in the region.

  • Superfast XII | greekpassengerships

    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.

  • Mytilene | greekpassengerships

    MYTILENE (ΜΥΤΙΛΗΝΗ) -NEL Lines (1990-2022) Built in 1973, scrapped in 2022 (age 49). Was registered in Chios. The cruiseferry MYTILENE is perhaps the most historic ship to have ever operated for NEL Lines, and she is surely among the greatest ships in the history of the Greek coastal service. She was built in 1973 in Japan, as the VEGA for the Japanese company Higashi Nihon Ferry, and she operated on the Sendai-Tomokomai line under the Shin Higashi Nihon Ferry division, before the latter was discontinued in 1977. She was bought by NEL Lines in 1990 and she was renamed MYTILENE. She underwent an extensive conversion in Perama, whereupon she was fully remodeled and she acquired a new indoor deck as well as several passenger cabins. She was deployed in 1992 on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene-Limnos-Thessaloniki line on the Northeast Aegean Sea, where she went on to experience massive success, and she quickly became a passenger favourite. She was the flagship of NEL Lines from 1992 until the arrival of the THEOFILOS in 1995. After 20 years on the main service of NEL Lines, she was deployed on the Piraeus-Ikaria-Samos-Chios-Mytilene-Limnos-Kavala line in 2012. Later in that year she was inserted on the Piraeus-Syros-Mykonos-Ikaria-Fournoi-Samos line. She remained in service despite NEL Lines experiencing severe financial difficulties in the 2010s, and she continued to travel efficiently until suffering from a major engine failure in Samos in 2015. The incident saw her remaining laid-up in the island, while also being detained by her crew, as her company could not afford towing her back to Piraeus in order to repair her. She stayed in Samos for a year, until she was towed to the Elefsina Bay in 2016, in order to continue her lay-up. After remaining there for six years, she was sold for scrap to Turkey in 2022, thus ending a legendary 32-year-long career on the Northeast Aegean Sea.

  • Azimut | greekpassengerships

    AZIMUT (ΑΖΙΜΟΥΤ) -Joy Cruises Built in 2001 (age 25 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (under refit in Paxoi) The small passenger ship AZIMUT was built in 2001 in Italy, as the EURO TRE for the Italian company Consorzio Marittimo Turistico Cinque Terre-Golfo dei Poeti. She began service on the La Spezia-Portovenere-Manarola-Corniglia-Vernazza-Monterosso-Levantino line, thus sailing from the Gulf of La Spezia to the Cinque Terre villages on the Ligurian Sea. She remained in this service for 15 years, until she was sold to the Greek company Joy Cruises (which is based in Corfu) in 2016. She was renamed AZIMUT and she began service on the Corfu-Paxoi line on the Ionian Sea. In 2018 she was introduced to the first-ever inter-Ionian service, being deployed on the Zakynthos-Kefalonia-Ithaca-Lefkada-Paxoi-Corfu line. In 2019 the island of Meganisi was added to her itinerary, thus she operated on the Zakynthos-Kefalonia-Ithaca-Meganisi-Lefkada-Paxoi-Corfu line. In 2022 she returned to the Corfu-Paxoi line. In 2024 she was inserted on the Corfu-Sarandë line, while in 2025 she was once again deployed on the Corfu-Paxoi line.

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.

  • Eirini K | greekpassengerships

    EIRINI K (ΕΙΡΗΝΗ Κ) -Kipreos Cargo Lines Built in 1966 (age 60 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (laid-up in Kalymnos) Among the oldest and most experienced ferries in the Greek coastal service, the landing craft EIRINI K was built in 1966 in Greece. She began her career as the AGIOS NIKOLAOS under the Greek company Hermes Shipping Company and she was deployed on the Rafina-Marmari-Nea Styra line, thus connecting mainland Greece with Evoia on the Petalioi Gulf. She remained there until 1980, when she was transferred to the Rion-Antirrion line. She would go on to spend more than two decades there, becoming one of the most acclaimed landing craft in the history of the line. She underwent a conversion in Perama in 1984, during which her accommodation superstructure was significantly modified. Her service there ended in 2001 (due to mandatory age limit preventing landing craft to operate as passenger ships once they would be 35 years old), and she was sold to Kelessidis-Koukianakis Shipping. She was deployed as Ro-Ro carrier on the Saronic Gulf in 2002, serving the Elefsina-Aegina-Agistri-Poros-Hydra line together with the fellow landing craft AGIOS KONSTANTINOS (known as the IGOR of the Guinean company Manoir Shipping Limited since 2007). In 2004 she operated solely on the Elefsina-Aegina line, and she was withdrawn from service in late 2005. She was laid-up in Elefsina, remaining there for the next four years. In 2009 she was sold to the Greek company Kipreos Cargo Lines (based in Kalymnos), and she was renamed EIRINI K. After being again converted in Perama (whereupon her upper deck was removed), she began service in 2010, again as a Ro-Ro carrier, namely on the Elefsina-Kea-Santorini-Ikaria-Fournoi-Samos-Chios-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Rhodes-Heraklion-Rethymnon line. In late 2014, she and her fleetmate, namely the MARIA K, were deployed on the Elefsina-Lavrion-Agios Georgios line, helping transport the required equipment and infrastructure for the construction of wind generators on the latter island. They continued to operate under that capacity until 2016. The EIRINI K was deployed on the Elefsina-Lavrion-Marmari line in 2017. In 2018, she underwent another conversion in Perama, whereupon her accommodation superstructure was further raised. She subsequently returned to service, being deployed on the Elefsina-Lavrion-Marmari-Karystos-Kea-Mykonos-Naxos-Santorini line. In 2020 she was deployed on the Kos-Kalymnos line, following the sale of the MARIA K. She was laid-up in Kalymnos in 2021.
