ZEFYROS (ΖΕΦΥΡΟΣ)
-Mantoudi Lines
Built in 2017 (age 8). Registered in Alexandroupolis. Current line: None (under refit in Skopelos)
The small high speed boat ZEFYROS was built in 2017 in Greece for the Greek company Saos Ferries, becoming the first-ever ship of her type to have been ordered by her company. She was deployed on the Alexandroupolis-Samothraki line, where she remained until 2019, when her season was prematurely ended following an engine failure, which resulted in Samothraki not having any ship during the high season. She was repaired in Lavrion, and in 2020 she was deployed on the Samos-Agathonisi-Farmakonisi-Arkioi-Patmos-Leipsoi-Leros-Kalymnos-Pserimos-Kos lifeline on the Dodecanese. In 2022 she suffered another engine failure, this time in Kalymnos, and she was withdrawn from service. She remained laid-up in Kalymnos for three years, until she moved to Elefsina in 2025, after having been acquired by the newly-established company Mantoudi Lines. She was deployed on the Mantoudi-Skiathos-Skopelos-Alonissos line on the Sporades.
