TomJ Posted September 10, 2021 Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Has Blue Carrier 1 got mechanical issues? I see she was out on trials yesterday. She has, sorry. Edited September 10, 2021 by TomJ

This ship is yet another scandalous chapter in the sinful history of Greek coastal shipping, appearing only during the summer and collecting subsidies whenever these are around. Now she will let again other ships take the winter losses while the rumour concerning her is that she will be -successfully- applying for the subsidised service which the Prevelis is currently performing. A completely unsuitable ship(single rudder, no pitch) in a very demanding route. Anyway, let her be awarded the route and we have all the time in the world to bitch about this. Be a shame for Prevelis ( and Anek) if Olympus gets this route. Edited September 12, 2021 by Nick the Greek Quote
TomJ Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 What is happening with Panagia Skiadeni, I see she has been moved.
Nick the Greek Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 Well apart from the obvious cosmetic changes, her owners did a significant upgrade on her in order to be able to participate in tenders for subsidized services that involve sailing further away from the nearest shore. An example of that is the Stavros. These upgrades involve both technical items as well as life saving appliances.
Nicksy58 Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 What is true of the rumours that Seajets is looking to deploy the recently acquired Superferry II (New name Super Star??) on a route in the Western Cyclades or on the Rhodes-Crete-Piraeus route from ANEK?
Nick the Greek Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 Well, the ship could be plug-and-play in a number of routes, I think their decision will have to do a lot with whatever subsidised services they end up with for next year. Something tells me they have not made their mind up 100pct right now.
Nicksy58 Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 And there is also Aqua Star, Aqua Myth, Aqua Blue. Something tells me some might end up in Aliaga soon.
TomJ Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Rumours about Express Pegasus has been sold for scrap, any truth in it?

Nicksy58 Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 The Aqua Star will be on the Volos-Sporades route from 1st of March according this article: https://skiathoslife.gr/seajets-anoixan-oi-kratiseis-gia-ta-dromologia-volos-v-sporades-me-to-aqua-star-oi-times-ton-eisitirion/

TomJ Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Is the Alexo ( now named Amira Marfat) headed the breakers yard? At the moment anchored off Lesvos.
Nick the Greek Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Yes we've spotted her Tom. But it's not clear whether she's been sold for scrap or not. I guess we'll know soon enough.

Nicksy58 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Another High-Speed Craft is added to the Seajets’ fleet and is on her way to Greece. The ship was purchased from the Venezuelan Golden Sun Petroleum S.A. and renamed SPEED JET. She left the port of El Guamache (Isla Margarita) where she was laid up and currently is seen at the port of Tembladora (Spain) flying the flag of Cyprus. SPEED JET was built in Australia (Austal) in 1996 and served for Scandlines (1996-2000), Ferrymed (2000-2002), SNAV (2002-2015) and Conferry (2015). Her carrying capacity is for 156 cars and 650 passengers. She is a sister ship to Seajets’ POWER JET. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 26 January 2022, a tender will take place for the Sea Speed Ferries’ OLYMPUS (former ELLI T.). The tender was announced on 22 December 2021 and concern debts to the oil company Revoil. The former Japanese ferry (1976) was brought in Greece by Med Link Lines in 1998 for the Greece-Italy service. She also served for Maritime Way (2004-2006), Endeavor Lines (2006-2011) and Cretan Ferries (2012). She was laid up at Perama when Cretan Ferries went out of business (2012). Sea Speed Lines purchased her at a tender in June 2018 for the Piraeus-Rethimnon line. The ship was out of service since August 2021 and her price is estimated at 600,000 euros.

TomJ Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Any update on Aqua Myth? Seems to of been alongside in Duqm for a while now. Her new port of registry -Comoros Islands is quite often given to ships headed for the breakers, I hope not.
Humbersmith Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Hello all, CHRISTOS LXI dropped a tow at Aliaga today. She seems to have come from Ploce. Any information on the demo vessel?
Ikarus Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Hello, has anyone sailed on Blue Star 2 in a LUX cabin? I am interested in the "2 bed cabin Deluxe (double bed) - Category L2DB2" but in their booking system it's marked as "cabin without window"? - Could this be the case a LUX cabin without a window? I've contacted Attica Helpdesk but so far did not get a reply ... Thank you, Dominik
