Superjet Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On September 30, 2023, at approximately noon, the Master of the ferry 'Super Jet' reported a significant issue to the Port Authority of Naxos. While traveling without any passengers and with a crew of 12 members, the vessel was en route to Athens Thiras for a scheduled route when it encountered damage to its external water thruster on the port side. Following the discovery of this damage, the ship continued its journey at a reduced speed, ultimately reaching the port of Piraeus, where it successfully docked. In response to the situation, the Central Port Authority of Piraeus has since prohibited the ferry's departure. Passengers were promptly assisted and forwarded to their respective destinations by the ferry's owning company.

On the morning of August 14, the Milos Port Authority received word from the captain of the 'Superjet' regarding a minor electrical fault while the ferry was already en route on its scheduled journey. Promptly, the vessel made its way back to Milos, where Port Authority officials conducted a thorough inspection. Fortunately, they determined that the ship’s systems were functioning properly. The captain clarified that the electrical fault was minor and had been completely resolved. After ensuring the safety and readiness of the vessel, the 'Superjet' resumed its journey, carrying 252 satisfied passengers.

On July 5, 2024, the morning brought concerns for the 'Super Jet' ferry as its Captain reported a malfunction concerning the port side outer main engine prior to its scheduled journey connecting Naxos and Mykonos. Responding to the report, the Port Authority of Paros initially grounded the ferry, preventing it from setting sail. However, the situation took a turn when the ferry’s operators supplied a seaworthiness certificate from an accredited ship surveyor. After satisfying safety protocols, the ferry was permitted to undertake a one-time voyage without passengers, heading towards Perama where it successfully docked at 3 p.m. Meanwhile, the affected travelers were provided alternative transportation to their destinations via the 'Express Jet', ensuring minimal disruption to their travel plans.
