Fast-Ferries-Andros Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On January 13, 2026, the Tzelepi Port Authority received an urgent request for medical assistance concerning a 54-year-old passenger aboard the 'Fast Ferries Andros.' The vessel, which had embarked from Piraeus heading to Syros, Tinos, and Mykonos, promptly returned to Piraeus to prioritize the health of the affected individual. Upon arrival, the passenger was swiftly disembarked and transferred to an awaiting ambulance, which transported him to Piraeus General Hospital for necessary medical care.

On August 27, 2025, an urgent medical situation unfolded at Rafina Port when the 'Fast Ferry Andros' reported that a 50-year-old passenger was experiencing severe health issues soon after boarding. Quick-thinking fellow travelers, including doctors, provided immediate first aid before the local emergency services (EKAB) arrived on the scene. The ill passenger was swiftly transported to Agia Olga General Hospital for further treatment, ensuring he received the care he needed without delay.

On March 15, 2025, at 12:00 PM, the Port Authority of Mykonos received notification regarding an engine failure affecting the port side main engine of the 'Fast Ferries Andros,' which was docked at the new port of Mykonos. The ferry was originally scheduled to operate on a route connecting Tinos, Syros, and Piraeus, with 71 passengers onboard. Following the incident, the Mykonos Port Authority swiftly acted to prevent the vessel's departure for safety reasons. However, after the ship's operators provided a valid seaworthiness certificate from the relevant classification society, the ferry was eventually cleared to set sail for Piraeus. Notably, the ferry left without any passengers or cargo on board.

On January 22, 2025, a significant incident occurred involving the 'Fast Ferries Andrs' at the port of Piraeus. The vessel's captain alerted the Central Port Authority about a malfunction in the port side main engine while it was docked. The ferry, which was scheduled to operate a route connecting Piraeus to the picturesque islands of Syros, Tinos, and Mykonos, was carrying 121 passengers at the time. Following the engine issues, the ferry company promptly arranged alternative transport for all passengers to ensure they reached their destinations. In response to the situation, the Port Authority has prohibited the ferry from departing until a certificate of class maintenance is provided by the relevant classification society overseeing the vessel’s compliance and safety measures.

On September 9, 2023, a dramatic incident unfolded in Rafina as the anchors of the 'Fast Ferries Andros', carrying 743 passengers, became entangled with those of the 'Ekaterini P.' (IMO: 9000443) and the 'Super Ferry' (IMO: 9110016) during their departure. The situation, exacerbated by inclement weather, nearly resulted in a collision between the vessels but was deftly avoided at the last moment. In a bid to free themselves, both the 'Super Ferry' and 'Ekaterini' had to cut their anchors, allowing them to navigate away from the chaos. However, the 'Fast Ferry Andros' faced a dire predicament, finding itself stranded and unable to start its engine due to the risk of the anchor chain becoming caught in the propeller, which could lead to engine shaft failure. To assist, three tugs arrived in Rafina between 2:20 p.m. and 4 p.m., while divers were also enlisted to help resolve the situation. Eventually, after considerable efforts, the 'Fast Ferry Andros' succeeded in docking safely at Rafina late that same day. Meanwhile, the 'Super Ferry' reported losing its port anchor, prompting the Master to alert the Port Authority of Tinos. The authority initially grounded the vessel until a class maintenance certificate could be issued by a ship surveyor. Once the certification was obtained, the 'Super Ferry' was cleared to resume its scheduled operations from Tinos.
