Supercat-Jet2 Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On July 24, the captain of the ferry 'Superspeed' alerted the Port Authority of Naxos about a concerning incident. After the vessel departed Naxos and set its course for Koufonissi and Katapola, the crew noted a significant drop in oil pressure from the main engine on the inner port side. This prompted a swift return to Naxos for a thorough examination by the local ship inspection team. Upon inspection, it was discovered that a ruptured connecting rod had caused a crack in the oil sump, leading to oil leakage. Due to safety regulations, the Port Authority of Naxos decided to detain the ferry until necessary repairs were completed and a maintenance certificate was secured from the attending classification society. Prior to this incident, 'Superspeed' was actively servicing its regular route, which included stops at Rafina, Syros, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Koufonissi, and Katapola, with 28 passengers aboard. Following the event, these travelers were provided with accommodations in local lodgings while alternate arrangements were made to continue their journey via other vessels.
