Aegean Speed Lines

Aegean Speed Lines was established in 2005 by the Greek Eugenides Group and the English Seacontainers. This athypical society introduces in Greece the first foreign vessel serving domestic routes, flying a red flag with the Union Jack on the upper left corner, the jack which flies on every vessel registered in United Kingdom’s ports. The “English” engaged on this service is the “Speedrunner 1”, a fantasy-less name for an Incat catamaran which started from summer 2005 to link Piraeus with Western Cyclades and Paros. On summer 2006 the call at Paros was quitted; the company livery anyway changed from white with light blue and green marks plus an horse profile, to a grey-blue hull, white superstructure and intense blue funnel. Finally, the 2007 season, views another port of call: the island of Folegandros is the fourth one served after Serifos, Sifnos and Milos. Even if the company claims itself very satisfied of its results and promised to introduced one or two more catamarans in Aegean seas, this never happened yet.
