SUPERFAST XI (ΣΟΥΠΕΡΦΑΣΤ ΧΙ) -Superfast Ferries Built in 2002 (age 24). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona The cruiseferry SUPERFAST XI was the eleventh 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 on the Adriatic Sea along with her sister ship, namely the SUPERFAST XII. Together with her sister ship, she became one of the most successful ships operating on the Adriatic Sea. In 2004 only, she was on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Bari-Ancona line. Since 2014 she has been operating on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona line. Following the sale of the SUPERFAST XII to the Italian company Grimaldi Lines in 2018, the SUPERFAST XI became the flagship of Superfast Ferries, while also remaining the only ship out of the 12 original cruiseferries ordered by the company that continues to operate for them. In 2020 she underwent a minor conversion in Perama, during which she was equipped with an exhaust gas cleaning system, thus becoming the first ship of Superfast Ferries to be retrofitted in such a way. In 2021 her funnel was damaged by a fire while she was docked in Patras, but it was quickly extinguished and she resumed service after she was repaired in Perama.

- Corfu Spirit | greekpassengerships
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.

- Anemos | greekpassengerships
ANEMOS (ΑΝΕΜΟΣ) -Aegean Sea Lines Built in 1980 (age 46). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (under refit in Drapetsona) The cruiseferry ANEMOS was built in 1980 in Finland, as the ROSELLA for the Finnish company SF Line, which was at the time one of the three Finnish companies that operated under the Viking Line brandname. She was ordered alongside one sister ship, namely the TURELLA (now known as the RIGEL III of Ventouris Ferries), which had been built the previous year. The ROSELLA was deployed on the Kapellskär-Mariehamn-Naantali line on the Baltic Sea. In 1981 she was inserted on the Stockholm-Mariehamn-Turku line, where she went on to experience much success and acclaim, despite some occasional mechanical troubles as well as a collision with her fleetmate, namely the DIANA II, near the island of Sottunga in 1987. She was repaired in Turku and she returned to service. In 1988, following an aborted attempt to have the ship sold to the Swedish giants Stena Line, she instead remained with Viking Line and she returned to the Kapellskär-Mariehamn-Naantali line, where she remained until 1993. In 1994 she returned to the Stockholm-Mariehamn-Turku line. In 1995 SF Line changed its company structure and it was fully renamed Viking Line. From that year to 1997 she was once again on the Kapellskär-Mariehamn-Naantali line. In 1998 she was deployed on the Kapellskär-Mariehamn-Turku line, where she stayed until 2002. From 1997 to 2002, during the winter season, she would perform 22-hour-long cruises on the Stockholm-Mariehamn line under the marketing name DANCING QUEEN. In 2003 she moved to the Tallinn-Helsinki line, where she remained until 2008, when she was introduced on the Kapellskär-Mariehamn line. In 2023, after 43 years with Viking Line on the Baltic Sea (having been the company's longest-serving ship in its entire history), the ROSELLA departed the fleet as she was sold to the newly-established Greek company Aegean Sea Lines. The latter had been founded as the successor to Aegean Speed Lines, which had ceased operations in 2022. Becoming the first conventional ferry of the Evgenidis Group, she was renamed ANEMOS and she underwent an extensive conversion in Perama, during which her indoor areas were fully refurbished. She began service during the summer of 2023, being introduced on the Piraeus-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Ios-Santorini line on the Cyclades. In 2024 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Kythnos-Serifos-Sifnos-Kimolos-Milos line, while in 2025 her service was restricted to the Piraeus-Serifos-Sifnos-Kimolos-Milos line.

- Ionion Pelagos | greekpassengerships
IONION PELAGOS (ΙΟΝΙΟΝ ΠΕΛΑΓΟΣ) -Ionion P Lines Built in 1990 (age 36). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Kefalonia-Ithaca-Astakos The conventional double-ended ferry IONION PELAGOS was built in 1990 in Greece, originally as a landing craft for the Greek company Ionion P Lines. She was deployed on the Zakynthos-Kefalonia line on the Ionian Sea, where she went on to operate for 15 years. In 2000 she underwent a small conversion in Salamina, during which her stern was upgraded. However, she underwent an even more prominent conversion in 2006. This occurred in Salamina, and saw the ship being lengthened and converted into a conventional ferry, while also acquiring a stern ramp, thus making her a double-ended ferry. She was was subsequently deployed on the Kefalonia-Ithaca-Astakos line, where she has since been playing a vital role in the connection of Ithaca with mainland Greece and Kefalonia. In 2011 her service was extended to the Kefalonia-Ithaca-Astakos-Lefkada line, which she performed until 2017, having since been operating solely on the Kefalonia-Ithaca-Astakos line. She operates under the Taxiarchis joint venture on the Ionian Sea, which includes her company and Ionian Sea Ferries.

She subsequently became one of the many small passenger ships to be deployed on the Perama-Salamina line. After 10 years with Kotsomoiris-Karvela Shipping, she was sold in 2018 to Speed Service Waterways, being renamed TZORTZIA, and she was reinserted on the Perama-Salamina line in 2019. In 2022 she started service on the Saronic Gulf, connecting Aegina with the small island of Moni. In 2023 her company was renamed Sea Bus Waterways. In 2026 her company began trading as Sea Bond Sea Bus (also known as Aegina Cruises).

- Naxos Jet | greekpassengerships
NAXOS JET (ΝΑΞΟΣ ΤΖΕΤ) -Sea Jets Built in 1992 (age 34 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (under refit in Kalamata) The high speed ferry NAXOS JET was built in 1992 in Australia. She began service as the SEACAT SCOTLAND under the SeaCat brandname of the British conglomerate Sea Containers on the Stanraer-Belfast line on the North Channel. In 1994 she was chartered to the Qatari company Q-Ships, being renamed Q SHIP EXPRESS and being deployed on the Doha-Dubaï line. Her charter ended in 1995 and she returned to SeaCat, being again renamed SEACAT SCOTLAND and being once again deployed on the Stanraer-Belfast line. She then had a brief charter from 1997 to 1998 t o the Uruguayan company Navegación Atlantida, being deployed on the Buenos Aires-Colonia line on the River Plate. She returned to SeaCat in 1999, being once again deployed on the Stanraer-Belfast line. She was deployed on the Calais-Dover line on the Channel in 2003. In 2004, however, due to her company's financial issues, she was laid-up in Sunderland. She spent three years there, before being purchased by the Greek company Fortune Maritime, which intended to operate her on the Red Sea. She was renamed SHIKRA and she arrived in Keratsini for a conversion, whereupon she was renamed AL HUDA I. She was subsequently deployed on the Safaga-Duba line, where she remained until 2010. That year, she returned to Greece for service with the Greek company My Ferries, and she was planned to be renamed MYCAT II and to be deployed on the Rafina-Syros-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line. However, before the season began, she was chartered instead to NEL Lines, being renamed CYCLADES EXPRESS, and she was deployed on the Heraklion-Santorini line. After that season, NEL Lines never redeployed her, and her charter ended prematurely. As a result, she was laid-up in Salamina for five years. In 2016, however, she was sold to Sea Jets, being renamed NAXOS JET. She was refitted in 2017 in Elefsina, Salamina and Chalkida, and she was deployed in 2018 on the Rafina-Andros-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line on the Cyclades. In 2019 she was deployed on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos line. In 2020 she was inserted on the Heraklion-Santorini-Naxos-Paros-Mykonos line. In 2021 she was deployed on the Heraklion-Rethymnon-Santorini line. In 2023 she moved to the Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos-Chalki-Rhodes line on the Dodecanese. In 2024 she briefly operated on the Mantoudi-Alonissos-Skopelos-Skiathos line on the Sporades. Following that she was laid-up in Kalamata.

- Flying Dolphin XVIII | greekpassengerships
FLYING DOLPHIN XVIII (ΦΛΑΪΝΓΚ ΝΤΟΛΦΙΝ ΧVIII) -Hellenic Seaways (2005-2019) Built in 1984, scrapped in 2019 (age 35). Was registered in Piraeus. The hydrofoil FLYING DOLPHIN XVIII was built in 1984 in Georgia (then part of the Soviet Union), for the Greek company Ceres Flying Dolphins, which she joined alongside her sister ship, namely the FLYING DOLPHIN XVII. She was deployed on the Sporades, being assigned on the Agios Konstantinos-Volos-Trikeri-Pefki-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos-Marmaras line. In 1999 Ceres Flying Dolphins was transferred to Minoan Flying Dolphins, which became Hellas Flying Dolphins in 2002. The hydrofoil remained on the Sporades under the latter's ownership, although this time she was on the Agios Konstantinos-Volos-Trikeri-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line. In 2005, when her company was rebranded as Hellenic Seaways, she headed to the Saronic Gulf, being deployed on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line. Even though she was supposed to be retired in 2014 because of the completion of her 30 years of service, Hellenic Seaways was granted a one-year service extension for both her and the FLYING DOLPHIN XVII. After the 2015 season was completed, the mandatory age limit for hydrofoils was abolished, and therefore she was granted an indefinite service extension, thus allowing her to continue her operations on the Saronic Gulf. In 2019, however, she was seriously damaged by a fire which occurred while she was undergoing her annual refit in Perama. Having been declared a constructive total loss, she was scrapped on the spot in late 2019, after a 35-year-long career in Greece.

- Blue Star Chios | greekpassengerships
BLUE STAR CHIOS (ΜΠΛΟΥ ΣΤΑΡ ΧΙΟΣ) -Blue Star Ferries ex-NISSOS CHIOS (ΝΗΣΟΣ ΧΙΟΣ) of Hellenic Seaway s (2007-20 20) Built in 2007 (age 19). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Piraeus-Santorini-Anafi-Heraklion-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos-Chalki-Rhodes Considered to be among the best ships in the Greek coastal service, the amazing and acclaimed cruiseferry BLUE STAR CHIOS was originally ordered by Strintzis Lines in 1999, due to be named SUPERFERRY MYKONOS and due to operate on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Ikaria-Samos line. Alongside her, a sister ship, due to be named SUPERFERRY CHIOS (now the BLUE STAR MYCONOS) was also ordered. Both ships were to be built in Greece (they are the first-ever cruiseferries to be built in the country). In 2000, as Strintzis Lines was transferred to Attica Group and was renamed Blue Star Ferries, the ships were therefore due to be delivered as the BLUE STAR MYKONOS and as the BLUE STAR CHIOS, respectively. However, in 2002, as the construction of the ships did not progress, the order was canceled by Blue Star Ferries. The keel of the BLUE STAR MYKONOS remained laid-up in Salamina until 2004, when the two newbuildings were sold to Hellas Flying Dolphins for completion. The BLUE STAR MYKONOS therefore became the NISSOS CHIOS and the BLUE STAR CHIOS became the NISSOS MYKONOS. The NISSOS MYKONOS was completed in 2005 in Greece and was delivered to her company, which at the time had changed its name to Hellenic Seaways. The NISSOS CHIOS was completed in 2007, and she entered service on the Piraeus-Chania line, making an instant impact in the Greek coastal service. Notably, she won the prestigious 'Ship of the Year' award given by Lloyd's List Greek Shipping Awards for 2007. After her new fleetmate, namely the ARIADNE, completed her conversion in late 2007, she was transferred to the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene line on the Northeast Aegean Sea, where she also was extremely successful, and she eventually stayed there on a permanent basis. In 2008 her itinerary was changed to the Piraeus-Tinos-Chios-Mytilene line. In 2009 she was operating on the Piraeus-Syros-Mykonos-Chios-Mytilene line. In 2010 she was again on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene only. In 2012 she collided with the port pier of Tinos, and she missed a large part of the summer season. She was subsequently repaired in Syros and she returned to service a month after the incident. In 2013 she spent a part of the summer on the Piraeus-Syros-Mykonos-Ikaria-Samos line in order to replace the NISSOS MYKONOS, which had suffered minor damages from a fire incident. She then returned again on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene line. In 2014 she sadly left Greece, being chartered to the Spanish company Baleària. She was initially deployed on the Algeciras-Ceuta-Tangier Med line on the Alboran Sea. In 2015 she was deployed on the Dénia-Palma-Ibiza line on the Balearic Sea, while in 2016 she was inserted on the Valencia-Mostaganem line. In 2017 she was deployed on the Almería-Málaga-Melilla line. After four extremely successful seasons in Spain, she returned to Hellenic Seaways and, fortunately, back to Greece. After a refit, she was first deployed in 2018 on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line on the Cyclades. However, due to the takeover of Hellenic Seaways by Attica Group, her itinerary was reshuffled and she was instead deployed on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Ikaria-Fournoi-Astypalaia-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes-Karpathos-Castellorizon lifeline on the Dodecanese, as well as on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene line. In 2019 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Ikaria-Fournoi-Astypalaia-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes-Kasos-Karpathos-Castellorizon lifeline, as well as on the Piraeus-Chios-Sigri line. In 2020 she was transferred back to Blue Star Ferries and she was renamed BLUE STAR CHIOS. She was deployed on the Piraeus-Ikaria-Fournoi- Astypalaia-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes-Kasos-Karpathos-Castellorizon lifeline and on the Piraeus-Mykonos-Chios-Sigri line, where she stayed until 2022. In 2023 she was inserted on the Piraeus-Santorini-Anafi-Heralion-Siteia-Kasos-Karpathos-Chalki-Rhodes line. In 2026 she underwent a small conversion in Elefsina, during which she was equipped with an exhaust gas cleaning system.

- Diagoras | greekpassengerships
DIAGORAS (ΔΙΑΓΟΡΑΣ) -Blue Star Ferries Built in 1990 (age 36). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Thessaloniki-Kavala-Limnos-Mytilene-Chios-Samos-Ikaria-Patmos-Leros The great cruiseferry DIAGORAS was built in 1990 in Japan, as the NEW TOSA for the Japanese company for Osaka-Kōchi Tokkyu Ferry. She spent her first nine years on the Osaka-Kōchi line, before she was bought by the Greek company Dodekanisos Speedways (known as Dodekanisos Seaways since 2005) in 1999. She was due to be renamed PANAGIA SKIADENI and to be deployed from Piraeus to the Dodecanese, but she was instead sold to the Greek company DANE Sea Line, which renamed her LINDOS. After an extensive conversion in Perama during which she was eventually renamed DIAGORAS, she began service in 2001, being deployed on the Piraeus-Patmos-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes line on the Dodecanese. In 2004 she was arrested by her crew in Piraeus, after which DANE Sea Line ceased operations. All of the company's ships remained abandoned in Piraeus and in Drapetsona. After two years of lay-up, she was purchased by Blue Star Ferries in 2006. After a small conversion in Perama, she returned to service on the Dodecanese, being deployed on the Piraeus-Astypalaia-Kalymnos-Kos-Rhodes line. Ιn 2007, she was inserted on the Dodecanese lifeline, being deployed on the Piraeus-Astypalaia-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes line. In 2008 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini-Astypalaia-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes line. In 2009 she changed her port registry from Rhodes to Piraeus, and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Astypalaia-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes-Castellorizon line and on the Thessaloniki-Limnos-Sigri-Chios-Samos-Kalymnos-Kos-Rhodes line. In 2011 she stopped operating from Thessaloniki and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Santorini-Astypalaia-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes-Castellorizon line. In 2012, she was deployed full-time on the Dodecanese lifeline, serving the Piraeus-Astypalaia-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Kos-Nisyros-Tilos-Symi-Rhodes-Castellorizon line. In 2016, right before the start of the summer season, her company sold her to the Moroccan company Africa Morocco Link for service between Spain and Morocco, namely on the Algeciras-Tangier Med line on the Gibraltar Strait. She was however bought back by Blue Star Ferries in 2018. After retuning to Greece, she was deployed on the Piraeus-Mykonos-Patmos-Ikaria-Fournoi-Samos-Chios-Mytilene-Limnos-Kavala line on the Northeast Aegean Sea. In 2020 she mainly operated on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene line, while in 2021 she operated on the Piraeus-Mykonos-Patmos-Leros-Ikaria-Fournoi-Samos-Chios-Mytilene-Limnos-Kavala line. In 2022 she served the Piraeus-Leros-Patmos-Ikaria-Fournoi-Samos-Chios-Mytilene-Limnos-Kavala line, whereas in 2023 she was deployed on the Thessaloniki-Kavala-Limnos-Mytilene-Chios-Samos-Ikaria-Patmos-Leros line.

Current line: Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Koufonisi-Amorgos The high speed ferry CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JET 1 was built in 2007 in Australia, as the OSMAN GAZİ 1 for the Turkish company İstanbul Deniz Otobüsleri (İDO). She began service together with her sister ship, namely the ORHAN GAZİ 1, on the İstanbul-Mudanya line on the Marmara Sea. In 2011 she collided with the Ro-Ro carrier UND EGE of the Turkish company UN Ro-Ro off the island of Oxeia, but she was repaired and she resumed her service. In 2015 she also collided with the pier of the port of Mudanya while trying to dock there. In 2022, İDO ended the ferry service on the İstanbul-Mudanya line, and as a result both the OSMAN GAZİ 1 and the ORHAN GAZ İ 1 were laid-up in İstanbul. They stayed there for two years, until they were sold to the Greek company Sea Jets in 2024. They were renamed JUMBO JET and JUMBO JET 2, respectively. Only the former was immediately prepared in order to enter service for the company for the 2024 season, as she underwent a refit in Salamina. She was introduced on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Koufonisi line on the Cyclades. In 2025 she was renamed CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JET 1, and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Santorini-Heraklion line together with the WORLDCHAMPION JET.

She was deployed on the Ionian Sea, performing daily cruises on the Parga-Syvota line. In 2019 she returned to the Perama-Salamina line. The following year she was laid-up in Salamina.

- Cruise Europa | greekpassengerships
CRUISE EUROPA (ΚΡΟΥΪΖ ΕΥΡΩΠΗ) -Minoan Lines (2009-2021) current CRUISE EUROPA of Grimaldi Lines Built in 2009 (age 17). Registered in Palermo. Current line: None in Greece, sold to Grimaldi Lines for service in Italy The gigantic cruiseferry CRUISE EUROPA was ordered in 2008 alongside her sister ship, namely the CRUISE OLYMPIA, by the Italian giants Grimaldi Group. They were planned to be operated by the Greek company Minoan Lines, which was owned by the former, on the Adriatic Sea. The CRUISE EUROPA was initially registered in Heraklion, although she was later reflagged to Italy during her construction. She was completed in 2009 in Italy, and she was deployed on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona line. The CRUISE OLYMPIA was completed the following year and she was deployed on the same service. Both ships were the largest ferries operating for a Greek company and serving Greek ports, although the largest ferry carrying the Greek flag remained the EL. VENIZELOS of ANEK Lines. In the winter of 2012 both ships were deployed on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona-Trieste line. In 2017 they were transferred back to Grimaldi Lines (although they were still operated by Minoan Lines) and they were deployed on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona-Venice line. In 2019, they were deployed on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona-Venice line. In 2020, the CRUISE EUROPA received scrubbers while undergoing a minor conversion in Malta, hence becoming the last conventional ferry of Minoan Lines to acquire them. Shortly after her return to service that year, she hit the pier of the port Patras, and she had to be repaired in Turkey. She was then inserted on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona line alongside the CRUISE OLYMPIA. In 2021 she and the CRUISE OLYMPIA began full-time operations for Grimaldi Lines, and they were deployed on the Livorno-Olbia line on the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Current line: None in Greece, sold to Morsko Dobro for further service in Montenegro The double-ended ferry TELAMON was built in 2000 in Greece, having been ordered by the Greek company Dimitrios P NE. She was the fourth double-ended ferry built in the history of the Greek coastal service. She began service on the Perama-Salamina line, being joined by her sister ship and fleetmate, namely the DIMITRIOS P, a few months later. She spent her first 15 seasons on the Perama-Salamina line, until she was sent for service on the Rion-Antirrion line in 2015. She returned to Perama-Salamina line in 2016. That same year, she was also briefly used as a floating bridge connecting Epirus with Lefkada, as the regular floating bridge (known as the AGIA MAVRA) was undergoing her refit. She performed that same role again in 2020. That same year she returned to the Rion-Antirion line. In 2022 she headed back to the Perama-Salamina line. In 2023, after 23 years of service in Greece for her company, she was sold to the Montenegrin company Morsko Dobro, for whom she began service on the Kamenari-Lepetani line on the Kotor Bay as the RUKA PRAVDE.

GIANNIS S (ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ Σ) Spanopoulos Speed Lines ex-HYDRA I (ΥΔΡΑ Ι) of Hydra Speed Lines (2009-2019) Built in 1982 (age 44). Registered in Lomé. Current line: Corfu-Sarandë Τhe high speed catamaran GIANNIS S was built in 1982 in Norway. She was initially launched as the ROSARIO, but she was completed as the VENTURE 83 for the Norwegian company Westamaran Hydrofoils. She was deployed on the Bergen-Stavanger line on the North Sea, but her career in Norway only lasted one year, as she was sold in 1983 to the newly-established Greek company Cretan Ferries, which was based in Rethymnon. She was renamed NEARCHOS and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Rethymnon line, thus becoming the first high speed craft in the history of the Greek coastal service to operate in Crete, while also becoming the first catamaran to ever operate in Greece. Despite holding these honours, her service on the Piraeus-Rethymnon line was not very successful, as she was not a ferry (with most passengers traveling to Crete by car), and she experienced a few engine troubles. As a result, in 1988, after Cretan Ferries acquired the conventional ferry ARKADI, the NEARCHOS was instead deployed on the Heraklion-Santorini-Ios-Naxos-Paros line, where she stayed for every summer until 1999, except in 1995 and in 1996, when she operated on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu line on the Ionian Sea. In 1999, she was sold to Panou Shipping, which deployed her on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri line on the Saronic Gulf, under the name KERAVNOS II. In 2007, her company ceased operations and she was laid-up in Perama. She remained there until 2009, when she was sold to Hydra Speed Lines. She was renamed HYDRA I and she was deployed on the Piraeus-Poros-Hydra-Spetses line, but her operations there were very brief as she suffered a major engine failure, which made her miss the rest of the 2009 season. The ship was then laid-up in Salamina from 2009 to 2012, and then in Floisbos from 2012 to 2018. She was moved back to Salamina in 2018. In 2019 she was renamed GIANNIS S, after having been sold to the Greek company Spanopoulos Speed Lines. Following four years of refit in Salamina, and 13 years of lay-up, she was reactivated in 2022 on the Rhodes-Fetihye line, under a collaboration with Sky Marine Ferries. After two seasons there, she was deployed on the Samos- Kuşadası line in 2024. In 2025 she returned to the Ionian Sea for the first time in 29 years, as she was deployed on the Corfu-Sarandë line.

- Speed Cat I | greekpassengerships
SPEED CAT I (ΣΠΗΝΤ ΚΑΤ Ι) -Alpha Lines Built in 2002 (age 24). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Piraeus-Hydra-Spetses The high speed catamaran SPEED CAT I was built in 2002 in France. She was ordered by the Swiss government in order to perform an inland service connecting Lake Neuchâtel, Lake Bienne and Lake Morat. She began service as the LYON on the Neuchâtel-Bienne-Morat-Yverdon line, just before the start of the 2002 National Swiss Exposition. She remained in this service until 2008. In 2009 she was sold to the Croatian company Adriatic Lines, and she was renamed ADRIATIC JET. She was introduced on the Venice-Umag-Poreč-Rovinj-Pula line, thus connecting Italy with Croatia via the Adriatic Sea. She remained in this service until 2020, when she was sold to the newly-established Greek company Alpha Lines, owned by the famous Agapitos family. She was renamed SPEED CAT I, and, following a conversion in Salamina, she was deployed on the Piraeus-Poros-Hydra-Spetses line on the Saronic Gulf in 2021. In 2025 she began operating only on the Piraeus-Hydra-Spetses line.

FLYING DOLPHIN XIX (ΦΛΑΪΝΓΚ ΝΤΟΛΦΙΝ ΧΙΧ) -Aegean Flying Dolphins Built in 1983 (age 43). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri The hydrofoil FLYING DOLPHIN XIX was built in 1983 in Georgia (then part of the Soviet Union), as the COLCHIS 1 for the Soviet company Black Sea Shipping Company-Noroflot. She was the lead ship of the prominent Kolkhida-class, and she began service on the Odessa-Yalta line on the Black Sea. In 1986 she was sold to the Greek company Ceres Flying Dolphins, and she was renamed FLYING DOLPHIN XIX. She was deployed on the Sporades and on the Northeast Aegean Sea, as she was introduced on the Agios Konstantinos-Oreoi-Volos-Trikeri-Pefki-Platanias-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos-Skyros-Porto Karras-Marmaras-Nea Moudania line. In 1999 Ceres Flying Dolphins was transferred to Minoan Flying Dolphins, with the FLYING DOLPHIN XIX seeing her service limited to the Agios Konstantinos-Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line. Her company was renamed Hellas Flying Dolphins in 2002, before being rebranded as Hellenic Seaways in 2005. In 2004 she moved from the Sporades to the Saronic Gulf, as she was deployed on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line. Her service there ended abruptly in 2012, as she ran aground in the small islet of Metopi, while sailing between Aegina and Agistri. She was refloated and towed to Perama, where she was declared a constructive total loss and she was laid-up, being left off the plans of Hellenic Seaways. She remained laid-up for the next seven years, until her fleetmate and sister ship, namely the FLYING DOLPHIN XVIII, was completely damaged by a fire while she was undergoing her refit in Perama in 2019. As a result of this, Hellenic Seaways decided to reactivate and to repair the FLYING DOLPHIN XIX, which underwent a significant renovation and was fully restored for service. She made her return to the Saronic Gulf in 2020, being reinserted on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line. In 2023, following the delivery of the three newly-built aero high speed catamarans ordered by Hellenic Seaways in 2022, the FLYING DOLPHIN XIX was once again withdrawn from service and she was laid-up in Perama for two years. In 2025 she joined Aegean Flying Dolphins and she once again resumed service on the Saronic Gulf, being deployed on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri line.

Current lines: Rhodes-Symi-Chalki-Tilos-Nisyros-Kos-Kalymnos-Astypalaia-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos-Arkioi-Agathonisi-Ikaria-Fournoi-Samos and Rhodes-Castellorizon The high speed ferry DODEKANISOS PRIDE was built in 2005 in Norway, five years after her fleetmate and sister ship, namely the DODEKANISOS EXPRESS. She joined the latter on the inter-Dodecanese lifeline, being deployed on the Rhodes-Symi-Kos-Kalymnos-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos line. She also became the company's flagship, a role that she still maintains to date. Despite a difficult first season, she also went on to become one of the most valuable ships of the Dodecanese, and she has been widely praised for her extremely reliable and speedy service, including during the winter. In 2007 she operated on the Rhodes-Symi-Chalki-Tilos-Nisyros-Kos-Kalymnos-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos-Agathonisi lifeline, while in 2013 she also began to serve the Rhodes-Castellorizon line during the summer. In 2015 she began to connect the Dodecanese with the Northeast Aegean Sea, as she was deployed on the Rhodes-Symi-Chalki-Tilos-Nisyros-Kos-Kalymnos-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos-Arkioi-Agathonisi-Ikaria-Fournoi-Samos lifeline. In 2021 she was inserted on the Rhodes-Symi-Chalki-Tilos-Nisyros-Kos-Kalymnos-Astypalaia-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos-Arkioi-Agathonisi-Ikaria-Fournoi-Samos lifeline, in addition to the Rhodes-Castellorizon line.

- Bari | greekpassengerships
BARI (ΜΠΑΡΙ) -Ventouris Ferries (2010-2021) Built in 1980, scrapped in 2021 (age 41). Was registered in Limassol. The ferry BARI was built in 1980 in the United Kingdom. She began her career on the Channel, namely on the Calais-Dover line, as the ST ANSELM for the British conglomerate Sealink. She was converted in Belfast in 1983, and she resumed service on the Calais-Dover line. In 1984 her company was renamed Sealink British Ferries after its acquisition by Sea Containers. She was converted once again in 1988, this time in Bremerhaven. She was then acquired by Stena Line in 1990. She was renamed STENA CAMBRIA and she was deployed on the Boulogne-Folkestone line. In 1991 she was deployed on the Holyhead-Dún Laoghaire line on the Irish Sea, while in 1992 she served the Stranraer-Larne line on the North Channel as a freight ferry. She returned to the Holyhead-Dún Laoghaire line in 1993, remaining there until 1996, when she returned to the Calais-Dover line. In 1998 she operated in cooperation with the company P&O Ferries, under the P&O Stena Line brandname, serving the Dieppe-Newhaven line. She was sold in 1999 to the Spanish company Umafisa, for service on the Balearic Islands. After being converted in Gijón, she was renamed ISLA DE BOTAFOC and was deployed on the Barcelona-Ibiza line on the Balearic Sea. She was transferred to Baleària in 2004, and she operated on the Barcelona-Ibiza-Menorca line until 2009. That year, she was deployed on the Dénia-Ibiza-Palma line. In 2010, the ship was sold for scrap to India and she was renamed WINNER 9. Fortunately, during her trip to India, the ship was ultimately bought by the Greek company Ventouris Ferries. She was refitted and converted in Igoumenitsa and Perama, and she began service on the Bari-Durrës line on the Adriatic Sea as the BARI. In 2015, she operated on the Zakynthos-Kefalonia-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Bari line during the summer, as part of her company's usual summer service connecting Italy with the Ionian Islands. She was deployed on that same service during the summers of 2016, 2017 and 2018. In 2019 she operated solely on the Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Bari line. In 2020 she was deployed back to the Bari-Durrës line. After being laid-up in Durrës in 2021, and following 11 years of service for Ventouris Ferries, the ship was sold for scrap for good, arriving in Bangladesh under the name ALTAIR.

Current line: Sifnos-Milos-Folegandros-Santorini-Amorgos-Koufonisi-Naxos-Paros-Mykonos The small high speed catamaran SUPER JET was built in Sweden in 1995, as the SEA JET 1 for the Greek company Strintzis Lines, hence becoming the company's first-ever high speed craft. She operated on the Cyclades, namely on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line. In 1996 she was deployed on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Amorgos line, before returning to the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line in 1998. In 1999 she served the Rafina-Syros-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line. Following the takeover of Strintzis Lines by Attica Group which resulted in the establishment of Blue Star Ferries in 2000, she and her sister ship, namely the SEA JET 2 (today the SUPER JET 2, also of Sea Jets), operated for the newly-formed Blue Star Jets division. For her first summer under her new operators, she was on the Rafina-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini-Amorgos line, while in 2001 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line. She was sold to Aegean Jet Maritime in 2002, being renamed JET ONE, and she was deployed on the Heraklion-Santorini-Ios-Naxos-Mykonos line. She grounded off in Santorini the following year, almost sinking in the process, but she was quickly repaired in Piraeus. She was sold to the newly-established Greek company Sea Jets in 2004, being renamed SUPER JET, and she was deployed on the Rafina-Samos-Ikaria-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros line on the Northeast Aegean Sea and on the Dodecanese. In 2005 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Kythnos-Milos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Santorini-Amorgos-Koufonisi-Irakleia-Schoinousa line. In 2006, and she operated on the Piraeus-Milos-Folegandros-Ios-Santorini line. The following year she operated on the Heraklion-Rethymnon-Santorini line, while in 2008 her service there was extended, as she was deployed on the Heraklion-Rethymnon-Santorini-Ios-Folegandros-Naxos-Mykonos line. In 2009, she was deployed on the Piraeus-Milos-Folegandros-Ios-Santorini-Amorgos-Koufonisi-Naxos-Mykonos line, where she remained until 2012. From 2013 to 2015 she served the Rafina-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros-Naxos-Ios-Santorini line, where she was very successful. In 2016 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Kimolos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Santorini line. In 2019 she and the SEA JET 2 were deployed on the Piraeus-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Folegandros-Ios-Santorini-Amorgos-Koufonisi-Naxos-Paros-Mykonos line. In 2020 she and the SEA JET 2 were deployed on the Piraeus-Serifos-Sifnos-Milos-Kimolos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Santorini-Amorgos-Koufonisi-Naxos-Paros-Mykonos line. In 2022 she and the SEA JET 2 operated on an inter-Cyclades service on the Sifnos-Milos-Folegandros-Santorini-Amorgos-Koufonisi-Naxos-Paros-Mykonos line.

SPEED CAT 1 (ΣΠΙΝΤ ΚΑΤ 1) -Hellas Speed Cat Built in 1989 (age 37). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (laid-up in Salamina) The high speed catamaran SPEED CAT 1 was built in 1989 in Norway, as the SLEIPNER for the Norwegian company Hardanger Sunnhordlandske Dampskipsselskap. She was deployed on the Bergen-Stavanger line on the North Sea, where she remained for eight years. In 1997 she was sold to the Estonian company Tallink, thus becoming their first-ever high speed catamaran. She was renamed TALLINK EXPRESS I and she was deployed on the Tallinn-Helsinki line on the Baltic Sea. In 2001 she was sold to the Greek company ANES Ferries, becoming their first-ever high speed catamaran as well. She was renamed PANORMITIS and she began service in 2002 on the Rhodes-Symi line on the Dodecanese, but her spell there was not successful and she was laid-up in Rhodes in 2006. In 2008 she was sold to the Northern Sporades and Evoia Shipping Company, which was immediately rebranded as Hellas Speed Cat. She was renamed SPEED CAT 1 and she underwent a small refit in Piraeus. She was due to begin service on the Piraeus-Hydra-Spetses line on the Saronic Gulf, but she eventually spent the entire 2008 season under lay-up in Piraeus. In 2009 she was deployed on the Volos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line on the Sporades, but her season was marred by multiple engine troubles. She returned to service in 2010, being deployed on the Agios Konstantinos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line, but she was once again plagued by several engine failures, one of which ended her season prematurely. She was subsequently laid-up in Perama for four years, due to her company facing financial difficulties. In 2014 she attempted to make a comeback on the Piraeus-Poros-Hydra-Spetses line on the Saronic Gulf, but she was denied permission by the Ministry of Shipping and Insular Policy. She eventually returned to service in 2015, being once again assigned to operate on the Agios Konstantinos-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line, but she once again experienced several engine issues. In 2016 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Poros-Hydra-Spetses line, but after a few days she once again suffered an engine failure which caused her to miss the rest of the season, and she was laid-up in Perama during the summer before later heading to Salamina, where she remains today. Her future remains uncertain. PHOTOS (2022, 2024): SPEED CAT 1 The SPEED CAT 1 seen laid-up in Salamina, awaiting her fate (11/2022).

In 1988 she was chartered to the Swedish company Gotlandslinjen and she was once again operating on the Nynäshamn-Visby-Oskarshamn line. After having been replaced by the NORD GOTLANDIA in 1990, she was chartered to the British conglomerate Sealink British Ferries. She underwent a refit in Tilbury and she was renamed FELICITY. She was subsequently deployed on the Fishguard-Rosslare line on the Irish Sea, where she was the largest ferry at the time. In 1991 Sealink British Ferries was acquired by the Swedish giants Stena Line, which resulted in the creation of a new company called Sealink Stena Line, while the FELICITY was renamed STENA FELICITY. In 1992 the company was renamed Stena Sealink Line, while in 1996 all of its fleet were transferred to the core operations of Stena Line. The charter of the STENA FELICITY ended in 1997, after which she returned to Rederi Ab Gotland, which by that time had started trading as Destination Gotland. She was once again renamed VISBY, and following a lengthy refit in Bremerhaven, she resumed service on the Nynäshamn-Visby-Oskarshamn line in 1998. In 2001 her service was once again restricted to the Nynäshamn-Visby line. In 2003 she was renamed VISBORG, before being taken out of service by her company.

FREEDOM II (ΦΡΗΝΤΟΜ ΙΙ) -Hydra Lines Built in 2003 (age 23 ). Registered in Ermioni. Current line: Metochi-Hydra The small high speed boat FREEDOM II was built in 2003 in Greece, as the KALYMNOS DOLPHIN for the Greek company ANEK Sea Lines. She was deployed on the Western Kos-Kalymnos line on the Dodecanese, and she remained there until 2009, when her service ended after a fire coming from her main engine made her miss the rest of the summer season. Following this, the company replaced her with a younger and larger high speed boat, also named KALYMNOS DOLPHIN. As a result, the older KALYMNOS DOLPHIN was sold to th e Greek company Hydra Lines. She was renamed FREEDOM II and she was deployed on the Metochi-Hydra line, alongside her new fleetmate, namely the FREEDOM, which had began operations on that service in 2009. In 2013, the FREEDOM II was laid-up in Hydra and she did operate for the entire season, but she was eventually deployed once again on the Metochi-Hydra line the following year.

DODEKANISOS EXPRESS (ΔΩΔΕΚΑΝΗΣOΣ ΕΞΠΡΕΣ) -Dodekanisos Seaways Built in 2000 (age 26). Registered in Rhodes. Current line: Rhodes- Symi-Chalki-Tilos-Nisyros-Kos-Kalymnos-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos-Agathonisi The high speed ferry DODEKANISOS EXPRESS was built in 2000 in Norway, as the first high speed craft and newbuilding delivered to the newly-established Greek company Dodekanisos Speedways. Based in Rhodes and following a failed attempt in deploying the cruiseferry PANAGIA SKIADENI from Piraeus to the Dodecanese (as the ship was eventually sold to DANE Sea Line, and she is now known as the DIAGORAS of Blue Star Ferries), the company sought to instead focus its services on the inter-Dodecanese lifeline. The DODEKANISOS EXPRESS was therefore deployed on the Rhodes-Symi-Tilos-Nisyros-Kos-Kalymnos-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos lifeline, becoming the first-ever high speed craft to serve it. Her service there was widely acclaimed, and she quickly became one of the most appreciated ships of the Dodecanese. In 2001 she operated solely on the Rhodes-Symi-Kos-Kalymnos-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos lifeline. In 2002 she also began to serve the Rhodes-Castellorizon line during the summer. In 2005 her company was renamed Dodekanisos Seaways, and her sister ship, namely the DODEKANISOS PRIDE, was delivered. In 2008 she began operating on the Rhodes- Symi-Chalki-Tilos-Nisyros-Kos-Kalymnos-Leros-Leipsoi-Patmos-Agathonisi lifeline in addition to the Rhodes-Castellorizon line, the latter of which she stopped operating on following the summer of 2012.

- Flying Dolphin XXIX | greekpassengerships
FLYING DOLPHIN XXIX (ΦΛΑΪΝΓΚ ΝΤΟΛΦΙΝ ΧΧΙΧ) -Hellenic Seaways Built in 1993 (age 33). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: None (laid-up in Perama) The hydrofoil FLYING DOLPHIN XXIX was built in 1993 in Georgia, being delivered to the Greek company Ceres Flying Dolphins. She became the last small hydrofoil to be acquired by the company and to begin operations for them (as three larger hydrofoils called 'Mega Dolphins' joined the fleet in the following years). She began her career on the Piraeus-Aegina-Agistri-Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Cheli line on the Saronic Gulf. In 1999 Ceres Flying Dolphins was taken over by Minoan Flying Dolphins. Nevertheless, the hydrofoil remained on her same service on the Saronic Gulf. Her company was renamed Hellas Flying Dolphins in 2002, and was then rebranded as Hellenic Seaways in 2005. In 2022, following the arrival of the three newly-built aero high speed catamarans of Hellenic Seaways, she was withdrawn from service and she was laid-up in Perama. By the time of her withdrawal from service, she was youngest active hydrofoil in the Greek coastal service. Her future remains uncertain.

It was her first season under the new colours of Hellenic Seaways high speed craft, after the company agreed to be sponsored by Greek telephone company Cosmote. She was also the first high speed craft of the company to receive the new Cosmote colours in late 2015, which included green, white and blue shades on her bow, hull, and stern, respectively (7/2015).

- Superfast III | greekpassengerships
SUPERFAST III (ΣΟΥΠΕΡΦΑΣΤ ΙΙΙ) -Superfast Ferries ex-OLYMPIC CHAMPION (ΟΛΥΜΠΙΚ ΤΣΑΜΠΙΟΝ) of ANEK Lines (2000-2024) Built in 2000 (age 26 ). Registered in Chania. Current line: Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona The cruiseferry SUPERFAST III 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 in Norway, and she became the new flagship of ANEK Lines, a role that she maintained until the arrival of the ELYROS in 2008. She was briefly deployed on the Piraeus-Chania line before transferring to the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona line on the Adriatic Sea in 2001. There, she was joined by her sister ship, which by that time had been renamed HELLENIC SPIRIT. After 6 years there, the OLYMPIC CHAMPION was briefly sent back to the Piraeus-Chania line to compete with the ARIADNE of Hellenic Seaways following the 2007 summer season. She returned to the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona line in 2008. In 2011 she was deployed on the Piraeus-Heraklion line, under the newly-established ANEK-Attica Group joint venture. She operated on the Piraeus-Chania line in 2014, and she returned to the Adriatic Sea in 2015, again on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona line. In 2019, while departing Igoumenitsa, a fire that began from a lorry that was inside the garage started spreading over the ship, but it was safely extinguished by the crew and she was immediately repaired in Perama. In 2024, after ANEK Lines was taken over by Attica Group, the ship was transferred to Superfast Ferries and she was renamed SUPERFAST III following a lengthy refit in Perama. She therefore became the second ship in the history of the company to have that name (after the original SUPERFAST III, which is currently the SPIRIT OF TASMANIA II of the Australian company TT-Line Company Pty Ltd). She remained on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Corfu-Ancona line. The HELLENIC SPIRIT joined her the following year, having been renamed SUPERFAST IV. In 2026 she underwent a refit in Elefsina, during which she was equipped with an exhaust gas cleaning system (also known as 'scrubbers').

She was subsequently deployed on the Rion-Antirrion line, where she remained until 2004. In 2005 she returned to the Perama-Salamina line, where she went on to stay until 2012. She returned to the Rion-Antirrion line in 2013, while in 2014 she was once again sent to the Perama-Salamina line. In 2016 she made another return to the Rion-Antirrion line, before heading back to the Perama-Salamina line the following year. In 2019 she was inserted on the Arkitsa-Aidipsos line on the North Evoian Gulf, while in 2020 she made a comeback to the Rion-Antirrion line. She returned to the Perama-Salamina line in 2021.

Current line: Mykonos-Agios Georgios The small passenger ship ANEMOS was built in 2009 in Greece for the Association of the Boatmen of Mykonos. Just like all of her fleetmates, she mainly transports passengers from cruise ships arriving in Mykonos to the latter's old port. She also operates on the Mykonos-Agios Georgios line. As her company assigns a specific number to each ship operating for the latter for identification purposes, the ANEMOS bears the number 8.

FAST FERRIES ANDROS (ΦΑΣΤ ΦΕΡΡΥΣ ΑΝΔΡΟΣ) -Fast Ferries Built in 1989 (age 37 ). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos The conventional ferry FAST FERRIES ANDROS was built in 1989 in Japan. She began service as the SHINKO MARU for the Japanese company Nippon Kaiun, being deployed on the Kobe-Takamatsu line. She was sold in 2000 to the Taiwanese company King Fung Ma and she was renamed KING HUNG. She was bought in 2003 by the newly-established Greek company Strintzis Ferries. She was converted in Perama, being renamed EPTANISOS, and she began service on the Kyllini-Kefalonia line on the Ionian Sea. In 2011 she switched itineraries with her fleetmate, namely the KEFALONIA, therefore going to the Patras-Kefalonia-Ithaca line. Strintzis Ferries however ceased operations in 2012, and both the EPTANISOS and the KEFALONIA (now operating for Levante Ferries) were laid-up in Drapetsona. The EPTANISOS was then laid-up in the Elefsina Bay from 2013 to 2015, despite many comeback attempts. She was sold to Fast Ferries in 2015 and she was renamed FAST FERRIES ANDROS. She underwent a major refurbishment in Elefsina, and she was deployed on the Rafina-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos line on the Cyclades. In 2016 she was deployed on her company's main service, namely on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line. After the 2017 season ended, she was chartered to Blue Star Ferries, being temporarily deployed on the Piraeus-Syros-Tinos-Mykonos line as a replacement for the BLUE STAR PATMOS that was undergoing repairs following her accident in Ios. After operating there for four months, she returned to her usual service on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line. In 2021 she started serving the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos-Paros line.

PANAGIA EVAGGELISTRIA (ΠΑΝΑΓΙΑ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΣΤΡΙΑ) -Kateros Shipping Company (2021-2023) current UNIJE of Jadrolinija Built in 2004 (age 22). Was registered in Piraeus. Current line: None in Greece, sold to Jadrolinija for service in Croatia The small ferry PANAGIA EVAGGELISTRIA was built in 2004 in Turkey, as the LADY GIÒ for the Italian company Red Fish Cruises. She was initially a passenger-only vessel that was used as a floating restaurant and for night cruises based in the port of Catania. In 2013 she was sold to the Italian company Lady Giò Srl and she continued to operate under the same capacity as she did in Catania, although this time she was based in Venice, and she occasionally performed cruises on the Venice-Treporti-Murano line on the Venetian Lagoon. In 2019 she was sold to the Maltese company Lady Giò Ltd and she performed cruises on the Valletta-Comino-Cominotto-Gozo line on the Maltese Archipelago. She was laid-up in Valletta in 2020, and in 2021 she was sold to the Greek company Kateros Shipping Company. She was bought in order to replace the company's previous ship, namely the PANAGIA SPILIANI, which had been sold to the Yemeni company Socotra Dream Ltd. The LADY GIÒ was renamed PANAGIA EVAGGELISTRIA and she underwent a major conversion in Perama, during which her stern was fully remodeled, while she acquired a small garage, thus making her a ferry. She briefly operated on the Chios-Psara line on the Northeast Aegean Sea in late 2021, before being moving to the Rhodes-Tilos-Nisyros-Kos line on the Dodecanese, which is where her predecessor had previously been operating. Following the completion of the 2023 season, the PANAGIA EVAGGELISTRIA was sold to the Croatian company Jadrolinija, and she was renamed UNIJE. She began service on the Mali Lošinj-Vela Skrakane-Unije-Susak line on the Adriatic Sea in 2024.
