She is in Sri Lanka , not heading to Bangladesh 

She is off the coast of Bangladesh, I have satellite tracking of her.

Has she been sold for demolition?

I was thinking this too. Very strange situation.

[Petros P]

Now seems to be at Chittagong as per all AIS sites. I had to doublecheck it  

Anyhow Chittagong is also a port apart from demolition "place".  Furthermore demolition yards are some miles  more north.

Searoad Tamar was searching for cargo 2 months ago,so it maybe a cargo.

[TomJ]

I wonder if it’s to do with changing her port of registry?

Did Kateros Shipping in Nisyros aquire the Joy Star (ex. Samos Star) as substitute for the Panagia Spiliani? Or has another company taken over the route(s) of the Panagia Spiliani with the Joy Star?

[TomJ]

What does the little tanker ‘Filiatra’ carry to or from Aegina? Oil, water or sewerage.

[proud_ionian]

She is a water tanker.

Α new water pipeline is now under construction, connecting aegina to Athens water supply network.

Any truth in the rumour about Seajets buying the exExpress Santorini?

[Nicksy58]

The Olympus back in Piraeus and the SeaSpeed Ferries website gone? Is this the end?

[Gsoult]

The site is operational. According to the online booking the ship is going to begin her itineraries on 14/05.

There is a very strong rumour(almost confirmed) for the ex Express Santorini. Specifically, they said that a crew of the Seajets (probably) is going to pick her up from Dubai to bring her here in Greece.

Thanks. The link I had isn't working ( www.seaspeedferries.gr/en ). I see it's "seaspeed" now after the slash instead of "en"

[TomJ]

Searoad Tamar has now been beached at Chittagong and is due to be scrapped. Maybe a reprieve for the Pelagitis.

[TomJ]

What has happened to the Olympic? Is she still in service?

Broken up in 2019, i'm afraid Tom.

[TomJ]

Thanks Nick, what a shame.

[TomJ]

Any update about the  potential purchase of Al Samy 4 ( ex Express Santorini) by Seajets?

[Nick the Greek]

The talk of the town still is that it's a done deal and she's gonna be brought back to Greece by Seajets.

[Billy Johnson]

Is there any truth also in the rumour that seajets are purchasing the Condor Rapide?

 

the sister to champion Jet 1&2

[TomJ]

What is happening to the El Venizelos? Normally she is on the Piraeus- Chania route this time of year. Maybe because the Elyros has not been chartered out this Summer!

[Nick the Greek]

She is an expensive ship to operate, the passenger traffic by all predictions will not be great, so it does not make sense for them to mobilise her.

[TomJ]

Thank you Nick

The longer they keep these old ferries in service is good for me, they have character and experience behind them.
