La ROMILDA di G.A. Ferries arriva in Grecia nel 1993, dove prende il posto della nave omonima acquistata l’anno precedente. Inizialmente problemi burocratici la costringono a servire sulle linee internazionali, ove si dimostra piuttosto inadeguata, essendo nave progettata per linee brevissime (Dover – Calais) e venendo impiegata su linee lunghissime (Ancona – CorfuIgoumenitsa – Patrasso). Si riscatterà successivamente, operando in lungo e largo per l’Egeo, con discreto successo, fino al fallimento della compagnia nel 2009. Mar Egeo, 28/06/1996.

WORKHORSE

The ROMILDA of G.A. Ferries arrived in Greece in 1993, where replaced a ship with the same name. Intended to be used on Domestic traffic, was forced to be deployed on Italy – Greece lines because of some paper problems which didn’t allowed her to sail under Greek flag. Fairly unsuccessful on Ancona – Corfu – IgoumenitsaPatras, a long line which is unsuitable for a day-ferry like this one, was very popular on Aegean waters, where she served almost every corner and every island, until the bankruptcy of the company in 2009. Aegean Sea, June 28th, 1996.
