Billy Johnson Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 What will happen to SuperRunner Jet now that Aqua Start will start? Anyone in the know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 The initial plan was for her to sail between Thessaloniki and the Sporades islands, I would imagine she will do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicksy58 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Not a good start for the Aqua Star. First engine problems on Saturday and yesterday leaving 5,5 hours late from Limnos after a problem with the ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Well, having come out of 4 years of inactivity and in such a short time(record time by anyone's standards), it's only to be expected. I think the jury is out and we'll see how she runs in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicksy58 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Anybody knows where I can find a timetable of the Caldera Vista that started with Inter Cyclades routes yesterday? The one on the Seajets website is an old one and looking at her route yesterday, it was completely different with calls in Karystos and Marmari.

Nick the Greek Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Try openseas.gr for a full timetable Choose 2 ports that you know she is sailing to and from, choose the particular voyage and then you can expand it and see the full itinerary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJ Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Any news of Armenistis ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Her owners(the chap is called Kalimassias) have requested an annual refit for her "where is". While there is speculation which has to do with her proximity to the Aliaga breakers, the owner for the moment is insisting she will be repaired. Actually it's not even clear what's wrong with her.

Nicksy58 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Recently I noticed that the Blue Star Chios coming from Rhodes moored in Peri Gialos and not Agios Andreas on arrival in Astypalea. Any idea why or if this will be "normal practice" in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicksy58 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Caldera Vista out (I see she's in Chalkis) and replaced by the Sifnos Jet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they never liked the new port and they also felt that calling at the old port under the castle of Astypalea, was better promotion for their island. As for the Caldera Vista, yes indeed. She will be replaced by the Sifnos Jet till early September. But this is Seajets, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senlac Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I saw a photo on Facebook and was confused initially. The main port in Chora was indeed more picturesque. But the new port was probably more handily with less traffic going through Chora and of course a shorter trip from Piraeus. (Already a long route of ten hours or so) Edited August 28, 2021 by Nick the Greek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Well, the traffic for Astypalea is not that big I guess, so they can afford to have it run through Chora. By the way, been on holiday there and I can strongly recommend the place. Both in terms of holidays, as well as shipspotting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see if more Blue Star ferries will arrive in Pera Gialos in the future. And Seajets.....indeed you never know. If that wacko gets it in his head tomorrow he's capable of selling all his ships without any notice. I don't like Seajets at all.

Billy Johnson Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hi all Any of you in the know, know what the champion jet 1 will be doing after today’s itineraries. As I see on seajets reservations that the Paros Jet will be taking over from Wednesday 1st September im guessing it finished for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 According to this, she will be doing Heraklion to Santorini - Naxos - Mykonos - Paros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Johnson Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Cheers Nikos she is a more ideal vessel for the line with better speeds. The poor power jet been struggling this summer with her trim tab issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) There are rumors that the ship will take the F/B Prevelis line (Kasos-Karpathos).However, there is a case to be sold to SeaJets. Edited September 2, 2021 by Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJ Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) What will happen to Prevelis if this happens? Edited September 4, 2021 by Nick the Greek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Tom, the question is rather what will happen to ANEK Lines. All indications are that the end is approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
