Nothing more to add at those written for “Superferry Atlantic”; this ship, delivered in July 2000, should have been named “Superferry Pacific”. Employed on AnconaIgoumenitsaPatras line till March 2003, serving alongside Superfast Ferries’s vessels, she started serving the PiraeusChania line, linking the main Greek port to Crete in only five hours and fortyfive minutes. After a year on that line was moved to PiraeusDodecanese service replacing her sister, a service still performed by this ferry.
