Blue Star Patmos Celebrates First Birthday

Blue Star Ferries announced the one year anniversary since the ultra modern addition to its fleet, the Blue Star Patmos vessel, was launched on the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilini route.

According to Blue Star Ferries, the vessel performed its first journey on 11 July 2012 and in one year’s time “won the preference of the traveling public and commercial transport.”

Since then, the Blue Star Patmos has completed 314 routes and transported 235,450 passengers, 22,912 private cars and 10,104 trucks.

The Blue Star Patmos was constructed at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co Ltd shipyards based on the latest technology available and was delivered in June 2012. The facilities of the vessel include 90 passenger cabins (326 beds), 405 air type seats, communal passenger spaces and all prerequisites to offer an elegant and pleasant journey regardless of weather conditions.

The vessel was a 70 million Euro investment initiative aimed to provide high quality services to its passengers and contribute to the growth of Greece’s island economy.
