POWER JET (ΠΑΟΥΕΡ ΤΖΕΤ) -Sea Jets Built in 1996 (age 30). Registered in Limassol. Current line: None (under refit in Drapetsona) The high speed ferry POWER JET was built in 1996 in Australia, as the DELPHIN for the German company TT-Line GmbH. She began her career under the company's TT-Line Clipper brandname on the Rostock-Trelleborg line on the Baltic Sea. In 2002 she was renamed TT-DELPHIN. In 2005 she was sold to the Egyptian company United Company for Marine Lines and she was renamed ALMOTTAHEDAH 1. She began service in 2006 on the Hurghada-Duba line on the Red Sea. In 2012, due to her owners suffering from financial difficulties, the ship and all her fleetmates were laid-up in Hurghada. She remained there for five years, until she was sold in 2017 to the Greek company Sea Jets. She was temporarily renamed BLUE POWER, and she began a conversion in Elefsina in 2018, during which she was renamed POWER JET. Her conversion was completed in Salamina and in Chalkida in 2019, just after the end of the summer season. She began service in 2020, serving the Heraklion-Santorini-Naxos-Paros-Mykonos line. In 2021 she was inserted on the Heraklion-Santorini-Ios-Naxos-Paros-Mykonos line. In 2025 she operated on the Piraeus-Milos-Santorini-Rethymnon line. In 2026 she remained laid-up in Drapetsona.

BLUE STAR 1 (ΜΠΛΟΥ ΣΤΑΡ 1) -Blue Star Ferries Built in 2000 (age 26 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Piraeus-Syros-Patmos-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Rhodes The BLUE STAR 1 was ordered by the Greek company Strintzis Lines in 1998, along with her sister ship, namely the BLUE STAR 2, as the SUPERFERRY ATLANTIC and the SUPERFERRY PACIFIC, respectively. She and her sister ship adopted their current names when Strintzis Lines was acquired by Attica Group and became Blue Star Ferries. She was completed in 2000 in The Netherlands, and she began service on the Patras-Brindisi-Ancona line, while being transferred to the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona line in 2001. She was transferred to the Aegean Sea in 2002, being deployed on the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, namely on the Piraeus-Syros-Mykonos-Amorgos-Patmos-Leros-Kos-Rhodes line, where she remained until 2004. In 2005 she returned to the Adriatic Sea, this time operating on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Bari line. In 2007, Attica Group, the owner of Blue Star Ferries, decided to transfer the ship to the Zeebrugge-Rosyth line, which connected Belgium with Scotland through the North Sea, in order to cover the void left by their previous ship operating there, namely the SUPERFAST X of Superfast Ferries, which had been sold to the French company SNCM (today known as Corsica Linea). She returned to Greece in 2008, being first deployed on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona line and on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Bari line in order to replace the ships of Attica Group which were heading for their annual refits, before she resumed her previous service on the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, namely on the Piraeus-Syros-Amorgos-Patmos-Leros-Kos-Rhodes line, in 2009. In 2010 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Santorini-Kos-Rhodes line, where she would go on to spend her next three summer seasons. In 2013 she operated on the Piraeus-Heraklion line during the summer (under the ANEK-Attica Group joint venture), while in 2014 she returned to the Piraeus-Santorini-Kos-Rhodes line. In 2015 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene line on the Northeast Aegean Sea, before extending her service during the summer to operate on the Piraeus-Samos-Chios-Mytilene-Limnos-Kavala line. In 2016 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Mykonos-Psara-Oinousses-Chios-Mytilene line. She returned to the Cyclades and the Dodecanese for the fourth time in her career in 2018, being deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Mykonos-Amorgos-Santorini-Samos-Patmos-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Symi-Rhodes line alongside the BLUE STAR 2. In 2020 she was inserted on the Piraeus-Syros-Paros-Naxos-Santorini-Samos-Kos-Rhodes line. In 2021 she was chartered to Irish Ferries and she was deployed on the Pembroke Dock-Rosslare line on the Irish Sea. She returned to Blue Star Ferries in 2023 and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini-Anafi line on the Cyclades. She has been the flagship of Blue Star Ferries ever since she was delivered. PHOTOS (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2023, 2024): BLUE STAR 1 The BLUE STAR 1 in Piraeus (8/2013).

SUPERFAST IV (ΣΟΥΠΕΡΦΑΣΤ ΙV) -Superfast Ferries ex-HELLENIC SPIRIT (ΕΛΛΕΝΙΚ ΣΠΙΡΙΤ) of ANEK Lines (2001-2025) Built in 2001 (age 25 ). Registered in Chania. Current line: Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona The cruiseferry SUPERFAST IV was one of two sister ships originally ordered by ANEK Lines in 1998. They were initially named KRITI III and KRITI IV respectively, but their names were changed to OLYMPIC CHAMPION and OLYMPIC SPIRIT, respectively, prior to their launching. The former was completed in 2000 while the latter was ultimately renamed HELLENIC SPIRIT and was completed in 2001 in Norway. She was introduced on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona line on the Adriatic Sea, where she joined her sister ship, and she remained in this service for the whole duration of her career under ANEK Lines. In 2024, after the latter was taken over by Attica Group, the ship was transferred to Superfast Ferries in 2025, and she was renamed SUPERFAST IV following a lengthy refit in Elefsina (thus following her sister ship, which had joined the same company in 2024 as the SUPERFAST III). She therefore became the second ship in the history of the company to have that name (after the original SUPERFAST IV, which is currently the SPIRIT OF TASMANIA I of the Australian company TT-Line Company Pty Ltd). During her refit, she was also equipped with an exhaust gas cleaning system. She remained in service on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona line. PHOTOS (2024): HELLENIC SPIRIT The HELLENIC SPIRIT seen in the new port of Patras. This proved to be my first and only picture of the ship under that name and under ANEK Lines, as she joined Superfast Ferries in 2025, for whom she began service as the SUPERFAST IV (4/2024).

HERMES (ΕΡΜΗΣ) -Hermes Cruises Built in 1992 (age 34). Registered in Chios. Current line: Zakynthos-Kefalonia-Ithaca The small passenger ship HERMES was built in 1992 in Greece, as the HERMES 1 for Skiathos Cruises, and she operated on the Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line on the Sporades as a daily tour boat. In 2009 she was sold to Hermes Cruises, which is based in Kefalonia. She was renamed HERMES and she started to perform daily summer cruises on the Ionian Sea, connecting Kefalonia with Ithaca and with Zakynthos. In 2017 she underwent a major refit in Kefalonia, during which her indoor areas were renovated, while she was equipped with new engines, bow thrusters and stabilisers.

PANTANASSA (ΠΑΝΤΑΝΑΣΣΑ) -Pantanassa NE Built in 1990 (age 36). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (laid-up in Salamina) The landing craft PANTANASSA was built in 1990 in Greece, as the PREVEZA for the Municipality of Preveza, for service on the Preveza-Aktion line on the Ambracian Gulf. She operated there until 2002, when the service between both ports she was serving was discontinued following the completion of the construction of an undersea road tunnel. That year she was deployed on the Rion-Antirrion line. She then moved to the Kefalonia-Ithaca-Lefkada line on the Ionian Sea in 2003, where she remained for one season. She then returned to the Rion-Antirrion line in 2004. In 2007 she was sold to the newly-established Greek company Pantanassa NE, and she was renamed PANTANASSA. She underwent a major conversion in Salamina, during which she was lengthened, her bridge was moved forward, an upper deck was added, her bow was completely modified and her engines were replaced. She then entered service on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu line on the Ionian Sea, where she operated for three seasons. In 2010 she returned to the Rion-Antirrion line, which she served over the next 10 years. In 2020 she was deployed on the Megara-Salamina line.

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.

Current line: None (under refit in Rhodes) The small passenger ship ZEUS D was built in 1978 in Greece, as the AETOS for the Greek company Anemogiannis NE. She operated on the Igoumenitsa-Paxoi line on the Ionian Sea. In 1983 she was sold the Oinoussian Friends Association, which is based in the island of Oinousses. She was renamed OINOUSSAI II and she was deployed on the Chios-Oinousses line on the Northeast Aegean Sea. After having been replaced by the young and larger passenger ship OINOUSSAI III in 2006, she was sold in 2008 to Kontogouris NE and she was renamed ZEUS D. After a refit in Thessaloniki, she began to perform daily cruises on the Amaliapolis-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line on the Sporades. In 2014 she was sold to Sporades Cruises. She underwent a refit in Perama, during which her aft section was rebuilt, and she operated on the Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line. In 2016 she operated on the Pefki-Skiathos-Skopelos line. In 2017 she was sold to the Greek company Half Price Tours and she was inserted on the Rhodes-Symi line on the Dodecanese. Her company was rebranded as SP Cruises in 2019.

TAXIARCHIS (ΤΑΞΙΑΡΧΗΣ) -NEL Lines (1999-2023) Built in 1976, scrapped in 2023 (age 47 ). Was registered in Mytilene. The veteran ferry TAXIARCHIS was built in 1976 in Norway, and she began her career with Union Shipping Australia as the UNION HOBART, operating between Australia and New Zealand on the Melbourne-Hobart-Picton line. She was renamed SEAWAY HOBART in 1984, and she was transferred to the Melbourne-Hobart line. In 1993 she was sold to the Greek company AK Ventouris, one of the many Ventouris family companies at the time, for service on the Adriatic Sea. After a conversion in Perama, she was renamed AGIA METHODIA and she began service in 1994 on the Patras-Brindisi line. Her Adriatic Sea career was, however, very short, as she was sold in 1995 to the British company Eurolink. She was renamed EUROMANTIQUE and she began service on the Vlissingen-Sheerness line on the Channel. She was chartered to the British company Dart Line in 1996, operating on the Vlissingen-Dartford line, before being chartered the following year to the Spanish company Isnasa, for service on the Algeciras-Tangier Med line on the Gibraltar Strait. The charter was unsuccessful and ended in 1998 following the closure of Isnasa. She was sold in 1999 to the Greek company NEL Lines, and she was renamed TAXIARCHIS. After a conversion in Perama, she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Chios-Mytilene line on the Northeast Aegean Sea. In 2001 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene-Limnos-Kavala-Thessaloniki line during the high season. In 2006, she operated on the Piraeus-Mykonos-Chios-Mytilene-Limnos line. In the summer of 2007 she was chartered to the Egyptian company Namma Lines and she was deployed on the Safaga-Jeddah line on the Red Sea. She then returned to service under NEL Lines and she was deployed back on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene line in 2008. In 2009 she was deployed on the Lavrion-Psara-Mytilene-Agios Efstratios-Limnos-Kavala line. In 2010 and in 2011 she operated on her company's Northeast Aegean Sea lifeline, namely on the Kavala-Limnos-Mytilene-Chios-Samos-Ikaria line. In 2012 she returned to the Lavrion-Psara-Agios Efstratios-Limnos-Kavala line, where she remained until 2015, when she was arrested by her crew in Lavrion, following her company's serious financial troubles and eventual cessation of operations. She stayed there until 2018, when she was towed for further lay-up in Salamina. After remaining there for five years, she was ultimately sold for scrap to Turkey in 2023, after having spent 25 years in Greece.

RIGEL V (ΡΙΓΚΕΛ V) -Ventouris Ferries Built in 1992 (age 34). Registered in Limassol. Current line: None (under refit in Perama) The cruiseferry RIGEL V was built in 1992 in Japan, as the PACIFIC EXPRESS for the Japanese company Marine Express (previously known as Seacom Ferry). She was deployed on the Kawasaki-Hyūga line, while from 1994 she began serving the Kawasaki-Miyazaki line. In 2002 she added Kōchi to her itinerary, being therefore deployed on the Kawasaki-Kōchi-Miyazaki line. In 2005 her company ceased operations. While many of her fleetmates went on to join the Japanese company Miyazaki Car Ferry, the PACIFIC EXPRESS was instead laid-up in Wakayama. Later in that same year she was sold to the South Korean company Yellow Sea Ferries and she was renamed KC RAINBOW. After a refit in Busan, she was inserted on the Rizhao-Pyeongtaek line, thus connecting China with South Korea via the Yellow Sea. In 2010 she was sold to the South Korean company Grand Ferry and she was renamed SECO MARU. She was deployed on the Busan-Shimonosheki line, this time linking South Korean with Japan via the Korea Strait. After 3 years, she was bought by the Chinese company Rizhao Haitong Ferry in 2013. After being renamed RI ZHAO DONG FENG, she returned to operate on the Rizhao-Pyeongtaek line. In late 2015 she was sold to the Mexican company Baja Ferries. She was renamed BAJA STAR and she began service in 2016 on the Mazatlán-La Paz line on the Gulf of California. In 2018 she was withdrawn from service and she was laid-up in La Paz, but she was reactivated in late 2019 in order to resume service on the Mazatlán-La Paz line, where she stayed until 2023, when she was replaced by the newest vessel of the company, namely the CALIFORNIA STAR. She was sold later in that same year to the Greek company Ventouris Ferries, and she was renamed RIGEL V. She arrived in Perama in 2024, and she performed a conversion which lasted for a whole year. She began service in 2025, being deployed on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Bari-Durrës line on the Adriatic Sea.

DIONISIOS SOLOMOS (ΔΙΟΝΥΣΙΟΣ ΣΟΛΩΜΟΣ) -Fast Ferries Built in 1990 (age 36). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Piraeus-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Kimolos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Santorini The conventional ferry DIONISIOS SOLOMOS was built in Japan in 1990, as the ROYAL KAWANOE for the Japanese company Shikoku Chuo Ferry. She spent her first 8 years in Japan, namely on the Osaka-Kobe-Kawanoe-Niihama line. The latter was closed in 1998, and as a result she was bought in 1999 by the Greek company Zante Ferries, thus becoming their first-ever conventional ferry. She was converted in Perama, being renamed DIONISIOS SOLOMOS, and she was deployed on the Kyllini-Zakynthos line on the Ionian Sea. In 2001 her company joined the Ionian Ferries joint venture, and she therefore also began to operate on the Kyllini-Kefalonia line. In 2004 and in 2013, she served the Patras-Kefalonia-Ithaca line for the summer. With the discontinuation of Ionian Ferries and the creation of the new Ionian Group joint venture in the summer of 2015, she was again transferred to the Patras-Kefalonia-Ithaca line (which had been inactive since her previous service there in 2013) for the high season, although she was then replaced by the IONIAN STAR (now the MARE DI LEVANTE of Levante Ferries) and later by the SPEEDRUNNER III of Aegean Speed Lines (now the SPEEDRUNNER JET of Sea Jets) , which was chartered for the 2016 season. She then returned to the Kyllini-Zakynthos line and to the Kyllini-Kefalonia line in 2016, which turned out to be her final season on the Ionian Sea. In 2017, she underwent a major conversion in Keratsini (whereupon she received a new bow and saw her stern being upgraded), and she began operations on the Western Cyclades, alongside her fleetmate, namely the ADAMANTIOS KORAIS. She was deployed on the Piraeus-Kythnos-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Kimolos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios line. In 2019 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Kythnos-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Kimolos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Santorini line. In 2025, after Zante Ferries was acquired by Fast Ferries, the DIONISIOS SOLOMOS joined the latter together with the ADAMANTIOS KORAIS. She continued to serve the Western Cyclades, operating on the Piraeus-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Kimolos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Santorini line.

NISSOS SAMOS (ΝΗΣΟΣ ΣΑΜΟΣ) -Hellenic Seaways Built in 1988 (age 38). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Piraeus-Psara-Oinousses-Chios-Mytilene Among the best ferries in the Greek coastal service, the cruiseferry NISSOS SAMOS was built in 1988 in Japan, as the NEW AKASHIA for the Japanese company Shin Nihonkai Ferry. She was deployed on the Maizuru-Otaru line, where she stayed until 2004, when she was replaced by the newly-built ferries HAMANASU and AKASHIA. She and her sister ship, namely the FERRY LAVENDER, were therefore both sold to Greek companies. The former was sold to the newly-established company Endeavor Lines, while the latter was sold to the established operator Agoudimos Lines (with both companies collaborating on the Adriatic Sea). The two ships arrived in Greece in late 2004, as the IONIAN GLORY and the IONIAN KING, respectively, and they underwent a major conversion in Perama, being transformed into very luxurious Ro-Pax ferries. During her conversion, the IONIAN GLORY was renamed IONIAN QUEEN. She entered service with Endeavor Lines in 2005, being deployed on the Patras-Kefalonia-Igoumenitsa-Bari line on the Adriatic Sea, while also being the company's flagship. In 2008, she was deployed on the Patras-Kefalonia-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Brindisi line as the cooperation between Endeavor Lines and Agoudimos Lines ended. She stayed there until 2011. Following that year's summer season, the company began to experience very serious financial problems. Nevertheless, in 2012, despite a few arrests in Igoumenitsa and in Brindisi, she resumed service on the Patras-Zakynthos-Kefalonia-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Brindisi line, thus being the only ferry of Endeavor Lines to operate for the company that year. However, the enduring financial difficulties the company eventually resulted in the end of its operations in late 2012. As a result of this, the IONIAN QUEEN was laid-up in Patras, where she remained for the next three years. After several failed auctions and rumours that the ship would be sold for scrap, she was finally acquired in late 2015 by Hellenic Seaways. She was renamed NISSOS SAMOS and she was towed to Perama, where she underwent a major conversion once again.

IOANNIS KAPODISTRIAS (ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣ ΚΑΠΟΔΙΣΤΡΙΑΣ) -Lefkimmi Lines Built in 1999 (age 27 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Igoumenitsa-Corfu The landing craft IOANNIS KAPODISTRIAS was built in 1999 in Greece, as the MAKEDONIA II for the Greek company Makedonia NE. She was built in order to replace the company's previous landing craft, namely the MAKEDONIA, which had been sold in 1998 to Assos Ferries. The MAKEDONIA II succeeded her predecessor on the Perama-Salamina line, where she stayed until 2006, after which she moved to the Megara-Salamina line. Until 2010, she would occasionally also serve the Perama-Salamina line in order to transport additional lorries. In 2018 she was sold to Lefkimmi Lines and she underwent a conversion in Salamina, during which she was renamed IOANNIS KAPODISTRIAS. She therefore took the name of the well-known Greek statesman who served as the first Governor of the newly-independent Greece and who originated from Corfu. The ship was headed to the Ionian Sea, being deployed on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu line, serving the Southern port of Lefkimmi.

SFENDONI (ΣΦΕΝΔΟΝΗ) -Ionian Cruises Built in 1962 (age 64 ). Registered in Corfu. Current line: Corfu-Paxoi-Antipaxoi The small passenger ship SFENDONI was built in 1962 in the United Kingdom, and she was originally a fast attack craft commissioned for the West German Navy under the name PFEIL P6193. She also had one sister vessel, namely the STRAHL P6194. Both ships were transferred to the Hellenic Navy in 1967, with the PFEIL P6193 being renamed AEOLOS, while the STRAHL P1694 was renamed ASTRAPI. Both ships continued to operate in their capacity as fast attack craft until they were decommissioned in 1979. They were subsequently laid-up in Salamina until they were acquired by the Greek company Petrakis Lines (based in Corfu) in 1992. They were renamed ANTIGONI and CHRISTINA, respectively, and they were converted into passenger ships that would be dedicated to performing daily summer cruises on the Ionian Sea. They began service on the Parga-Corfu-Paxoi-Antipaxoi line. In 2003 the company was rebranded as Ionian Cruises. From 2007 she and the CHRISTINA have been deployed on the Corfu-Paxoi-Antipaxoi line. In 2010 she was renamed SFENDONI. She has also occasionally performed cruises from Corfu to Parga, Syvota and Sarandë in Albania.

CORFU SPIRIT (ΚΟΡΦΟΥ ΣΠΙΡΙΤ) -Kerkyra Lines Built in 1989 (age 37 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Paxoi The double-ended ferry CORFU SPIRIT was built in 1989 in the United Kingdom, as the SUPERFLEX GOLF for the Danish company VR Shipping. Upon her delivery to the company, she did not operate until 1992, as she remained laid-up in Copenhagen. During the 1992 season she was chartered to the Danish company Skagen Line and she operated on the Skagen-Marstrand line on the Skagerrak, but she stopped operations later in that same year after the company went bankrupt. In 1993 she was chartered to another Danish company, namely Scarlett Line, and she was deployed on the Copenhagen-Landskrona line on the Øresund. Her charterers also went bankrupt, and therefore she was once again laid-up in Copenhagen. In 1994 she was sold to the Spanish company Isnasa and she was renamed ANTONIO MACHADO. Following a conversion in Málaga, she was deployed in 1995 on the Algeciras-Ceuta line on the Gibraltar Strait. In 1996 she was transferred to the subsidiary company Flebasa Lines and she was deployed on the Dénia-Ibiza line on the Balearic Sea. In 1997 she returned under the management of Isnasa and she was once again deployed on the Algeciras-Ceuta line. Her company ceased operations in 1998 due to financial issues, and the ship was laid-up in Algeciras together with her fleetmate and sister ship, namely the MIGUEL HERNÁNDEZ. The two ships remained abandoned in Algeciras until 2003, when they were purchased by the Italian company Enermar Transporti Isole Sarde. The MIGUEL HERNÁNDEZ was renamed BUDELLI, while the ANTONIO MACHADO was renamed RAZZOLI. She was chartered in 2004 to the Italian company Navigazione Generale Italiana and she was deployed on the Milazzo-Vulcano-Lipari-Salina line, thus linking Sicily with the Aeolian Islands on the Tyrrhenian Sea. That same year, she ran aground in the small island of Vulcanello, but she was immediately salvaged and she resumed service. In late 2006 she and the BUDELLI were sold to the Italian company Bluvia, and they were deployed on the Villa San Giovanni-Messina line on the Messina Strait. In 2008 she was renamed REGGIO, while the BUDELLI was renamed MONGIBELLO later in that same year. In 2012 both ships were bought by the Greek company 2way Ferries, being renamed DORIEUS and IONAS, respectively. The former was converted in Perama, and she began service during the summer of 2012 on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu line on the Ionian Sea. In 2014 she was sold to the Russian company JSC Proekt and she was renamed OLYMPIADA. She was deployed on the Kavkaz-Port Krym line on the Kerch Strait. After five seasons there, she returned to Greece in 2019, having once again been renamed DORIEUS and having been bought by Kerkyra Lines. She underwent a small refit in Perama and she made her return to the Igoumenitsa-Corfu line. In 2022 she underwent an extensive refit in Chalkida, during which her engines were upgraded and her indoor areas were refurbished. She was renamed CORFU SPIRIT and she resumed service on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Paxoi line.
