FRAGLINEferries

 

 

Despite the single-ship service effected only on Summer, typical of Fragline’s last years of activity, this company had its roots immediately after the Second World War and the Greek Civil War. Before of Strintzis Lines, before of Anek Lines, before of Minoan Lines, almost “grandmother” of Superfast Ferries, this company was established in 1950s by the captain Georgios Fragoudakis, starting a service to Cyclades. Then the new ferries “Elli” and “Georgios” joined the fleet. This company started Italy - Greece connections in 1971, introducing the “Georgios” between Patras, Igoumenitsa, Corfu and Brindisi. In 1981 the “Eolos” was purchased, then, five years later, the “Ouranos” also entered the Fragline fleet, replacing the “Georgios”. The company had operated two ferries until 1994, when “Eolos” was sold and the Patras service ceased to Igoumenitsa. Then, in 1999, the new “Ouranos” substituted the former one: this was a great thing, purchasing one of the better high-aged cruise-ferries, improving very much the on-board services. The Brindisi - Igoumenitsa line is plyed by many operators, suddenly born and equally suddenly death, often only in a summertime: Fragline opposed a very cheap passage, chosen by many usual clients. The adventure of Fragline continued until the end of Summer 2006; in March 2007 the “Ouranos” was sold and the company announced that was seeking for a ferry to be deployed the following summer on Brindisi – Corfu – Igoumenitsa line; no purchase was anyway announced, and the company quietly disappeared from the Adriatic ferry scene.
