TomJ Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Is Express Pegasus under refit? Has Aqua Blue broken down? I see she has stopped working for a few days now.
proud_ionian Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Yeap express pegasus is under refit. She'll be back in service this week. aqua blue has broken down. she is at Drapetsona Repair Dock
TomJ Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Thank you. Where is Festos Palace off to then? One site says Malta and another says Algeria? Is there a site where I can get refit/repair information on the Greek Ferries? Edited May 7, 2019 by proud_ionian quote αντί reply
proud_ionian Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Yes there is. Shipfriends Festos Palace is off to Malta, to get her new scrubbers installed Edited May 7, 2019 by proud_ionian
Nicksy58 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I read that at the SAS meeting yesterday is was approved that the ELLI T (now renamed OLYMPUS) will come back on a route from Piraeus to Rethymnon via Milos & Santorini. Who will be the operator?
Nick the Greek Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 They are a new outfit, allegedly supported by local businessmen in Santorini.
Panagia Ekatontapiliani Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 They are awaiting for the new crankshaft. According to Seajets is expected to return around 10/07/19.
Nicksy58 Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Where can I find the Aqua Jewel schedule? I know she is chartered out to The Azores but there should be a substitute. Or not? Edited July 4, 2019 by Nicksy58
Shippihs Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 To the date there is no substitute but others ships of seajets are doing the route some days of the week.For more informations I suggest you to contact the company
Nicksy58 Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 That's the problem with Seajets. When contacting them they refer to their website where there is only an itinerary from last year. Furthermore they just tell lies as they yesterday told people with a booking for the Aqua Jewel, the ship had suffered some damage and was currently under repair.
TomJ Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 I see that another veteran of the sea has been brought out of retirement, I am talking about the ' Olympus', what route is she going to cover? When is Aqua Blue going to start working again? I see she has recently completed a couple of sea trials. And finally (sorry) any news as to the fate of Vitsentzos Kornados? Many thanks.
Blue Star Delos Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 Olympus will cover the Piraeus-Milos-Santorini-Rethymno route. Regarding Aqua Blue, she’s probably not going to work this summer but that’s not 100% certain. No changes to the status of Vitsentzos Kornaros.
TomJ Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) Thank you very much. Edited July 31, 2019 by proud_ionian quote αντί reply
Nicksy58 Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 The OLYMPUS apparently hit a rock/reef Thursday morning on the approach of Athinios port in Santorini on her inaugural trip. She is currently detained in Santorini as an inspection by divers revealed cracks and holes in the hull. The AQUA BLUE started again yesterday on a revised schedule that takes her twice a week (Monday & Wednesday) to Ikaria (Evdilos) and Samos (Karlovassi) besides her daily route to Andros, Tinos and Mykonos. Unfortunately she hit the quay yesterday evening in Gavrio and ended up stuck in the sand of Gavrio basin. That was relatively quickly solved but she was detained by the port authorities untill 11.00 this morning when she continued to Tinos and Mykonos.
TomJ Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Any more news of 'Olympus' after her grounding in Santorini.
Nikos_Chania Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) She is still at the port of Athinios, making the necessary preparations in order to safely sail to a shipyard (not confirmed yet). Two tugs from Spanopoulos group are alongside the vessel, performing above mentioned preparations. Edited August 9, 2019 by Nikos_Chania
