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