Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Olympios-Zeus

In a significant maritime incident, the Port Authority of Kos received an alert in the early morning hours of August 17, 2022, regarding the 'Olympios Zeus'. While mooring, the vessel experienced a breakdown of the oil pump associated with its starboard side main engine. At the time, the ship was on a scheduled journey from Kalymnos to Mastichariou, Kos, carrying 138 passengers. As a precautionary measure, the Port Authority swiftly prohibited the ship from departing until an urgent inspection was conducted and necessary repairs were made. Meanwhile, the passengers were safely transferred to their destination by the ship's operating company, ensuring minimal disruption to their travel plans.

In a late-night incident on January 6, 2017, the ferry "Blue Star Patmos" became entangled with the anchor of another ferry, "Nissos Kalymnos," while attempting to leave the port of Kalymnos amidst stormy weather conditions. As the vessel struggled against fierce winds, it was inadvertently pushed against the "Nissos Kalymnios," which resulted in the cutting of anchor ropes. This collision caused the "Nissos Kalymnios" to collide with the adjacent "Olympios Zeus," which was securely moored. The impact led to one of the anchors detaching from the "Blue Star Patmos," causing notable damage to the railings of the "Olympios Zeus" along with damage to its ramp. Consequently, the "Nissos Kalymnios" has received a ban on sailing until necessary repairs can be completed, prompting disruptions in the local ferry schedule.
