On the morning of June 21, 2022, a fire erupted in the laundry section located at the aft of the 'Andros Queen' during ongoing repair works at the Perama ship repair area in Piraeus. The rapid response from two Search and Rescue (SAR) vessels, along with five fire engines and the ship's 19 crew members, ensured that the blaze was quickly brought under control. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries among those present. The full extent of the damage to the vessel remains undetermined at this time. Since April 12, the 'Andros Queen' has been undergoing renovations to prepare for its return to ferry services. The preliminary investigation into the incident is being led by the 4th Port Department of Perama, under the oversight of the Central Port Authority of Piraeus.

In a significant maritime development, the 'Silver Queen' ferry, originally slated for scrapping, has been brought to Greece. This move follows the sale of the 'Superferry II' from Golden Star to Seajets. The 'Silver Queen' is set to undergo a substantial upgrade at a reputable Greek shipyard, enhancing its services for the upcoming summer season in 2023. The conversion process is scheduled to occur between April 2022 and January 2023, ensuring everything is ready for the busy summer travel period.
