Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Flying-Cat-6

On October 11, 2024, a mechanical malfunction on the 'Flying Cat 6' prompted a swift response from the Port Authority of Poros. The ferry, which was en route from Piraeus and serving the Poros-Hydra-Ermioni-Spetses-Porto Heli route, experienced a failure in its port side main engine while carrying 123 passengers. After the master of the vessel reported the issue, the ship made a safe return to the port of Poros where all passengers were disembarked without incident. Subsequently, the Port Authority of Poros imposed an initial restriction on the ferry's departure. However, following the submission of a seaworthiness certificate from the overseeing classification society, the ferry was permitted to conduct a single voyage back to Piraeus without any cargo or passengers. In the meantime, the ferry operators arranged for the onward transportation of affected passengers to their intended destinations.

On October 6, a routine trip for the 'Flying Cat 6' hydrofoil took an unexpected turn. As the vessel was navigating from Poros to Piraeus, it reported experiencing vibrations during its mooring at Piraeus. The vibrations were particularly noted at the port-side stern area of the hydrofoil. Fortunately, the 'Flying Cat 6' managed a safe docking and successfully offloaded its 137 passengers without incident. However, in response to the detected vibrations, the Argosaronic Port Authority has temporarily barred the hydrofoil from resuming operations. The ship will remain out of service until necessary repairs are conducted and a maintenance certificate is issued by the overseeing classification society.

On April 16, 2024, the Master of the 'Flying Cat 6' reported an engine issue to the Port Authority of Argosaronicos during its regular route from Porto Heli, navigating through Spetses, Ermioni, Hydra, and Poros, en route to Piraeus. The vessel experienced a significant malfunction in its starboard main engine. Despite this setback, the ferry safely completed its journey to Piraeus, where it successfully disembarked 176 passengers along with a crew of 12. In response to the incident, the Port Authority has prohibited the ferry from operating until the repair work is completed and a certificate of class maintenance is provided by the designated classification society. Meanwhile, the catamaran ferry 'Aereo 1' took over the next scheduled route, servicing the ports of Poros, Hydra, Spetses, and Porto Heli.
