Read Authentic Ratings for the Thalassitis

On November 16, 2025, at noon, a significant engine issue was reported by the Captain of the ferry C'Thalassitis shortly after its departure from Mytilene. The vessel, which was scheduled to sail to the ports of Chios and Piraeus, experienced a malfunction in its starboard side main engine. In response, the Central Port Authority of Mytilene promptly halted the ferry's departure. Following the submission of a class maintenance certificate from the overseeing classification society, the ferry was granted permission to continue its journey. At the time of departure, the C'Thalassitis was carrying 32 passengers, four vehicles, and a crew of 26 members.

On the afternoon of September 21st, the Chios Port Authority received a bomb threat concerning the ferry C'Thalassitis. The reported threat, communicated via telephone, occurred just prior to the vessel's scheduled departure to Piraeus. In response, authorities swiftly executed their protocols to locate and neutralize any potential explosive device. All passengers were safely evacuated, and vehicles were unloaded from the ferry. After a thorough inspection carried out by an explosive detection canine yielded no results, the C'Thalassitis was cleared to sail once again. The ferry departed with a limited load, including 10 passengers, 10 vehicles, 48 trucks, and one motorcycle, continuing its planned route. A preliminary investigation into the incident is currently under the purview of the Central Port Authority of Chios.

After experiencing a significant fire and various operational challenges, the ferry 'Thalassitis' is ready to take to the seas. On August 1, 2025, this vessel set sail on its inaugural journey from Piraeus to the beautiful island of Crete. It's important to note that the 'Thalassitis' will be operating solely on a roll-on/roll-off basis, and will not be transporting passengers during this initial sailing.

On October 24, 2019, at approximately 11 a.m., the ferry 'Jan Sniadecki' found itself in a precarious situation upon its arrival at the Ystad port. The vessel had departed from Swinoujscie earlier that morning at 6 a.m., but as it navigated into the harbor, it lost control and collided with a pier, resulting in significant damage to the ship's bow. Not only was the hull compromised above the bulbous bow, but the pier also sustained injuries from the impact. Before the vessel's unfortunate allision with the pier, it narrowly avoided a collision with another ferry that was berthed nearby. The exact cause of the incident remains undetermined. Following the accident, the 'Jan Sniadecki' left Ystad again on October 25 at 2:30 p.m. After making a final stop at Swinoujscie, the ferry departed once more on October 26 at 11:40 a.m., reaching the Makrum SA Pomerania Shipyard in Szczecin for necessary repairs by 3:20 p.m. of the same day.
