The OLYMPUS apparently hit a rock/reef Thursday morning on the approach of Athinios port in Santorini on her inaugural trip. She is currently detained in Santorini as an inspection by divers revealed cracks and holes in the hull. The AQUA BLUE started again yesterday on a revised schedule that takes her twice a week (Monday & Wednesday) to Ikaria (Evdilos) and Samos (Karlovassi) besides her daily route to Andros, Tinos and Mykonos. Unfortunately she hit the quay yesterday evening in Gavrio and ended up stuck in the sand of Gavrio basin. That was relatively quickly solved but she was detained by the port authorities untill 11.00 this morning when she continued to Tinos and Mykonos.

That's the problem with Seajets. When contacting them they refer to their website where there is only an itinerary from last year. Furthermore they just tell lies as they yesterday told people with a booking for the Aqua Jewel, the ship had suffered some damage and was currently under repair.

Where can I find the Aqua Jewel schedule? I know she is chartered out to The Azores but there should be a substitute. Or not?

I read that at the SAS meeting yesterday is was approved that the ELLI T (now renamed OLYMPUS) will come back on a route from Piraeus to Rethymnon via Milos & Santorini. Who will be the operator?
