The newly acquired by SEAJETS passenger ferry Superferry II seems according to unconfirmed information received by Kythera.News that it will «visit» our island very soon. More specifically in the immediate future the passenger ferry Aqua Jewel is scheduled to perform the necessary immobilization and refueling. Therefore, SEAJETS as leaked intends to put on the line to replace the Superferry II. It remains to be confirmed in the next few days whether the Superferry II will indeed «catch» in Diakofti and whether Kytherians will have the opportunity to travel with it.
It should be noted that a month ago the business agreement providing for the sale of four ferries from Golden Star Ferries of the Stefanos brothers to Marios Iliopoulos' Seajets was completed.
Following this agreement, the Superrunner, Supercat, Superspeed and the Superferry II passenger ferry were transferred in turn.
«Particularly for the Superferry II, the emotion for its departure from our fleet is great, as the 28-year “legend” of the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos line was the main stimulus for the involvement of brothers Dimitris and George Stefanos in the shipping industry,» Golden Star Ferries said in a statement, which also wished the new owner Mr. Iliopoulos to always be well-off.
