It has been reported that Attica Group has chartered TT-Line’s RoPax AKKA for nearly a year to operate on its Adriatic service. The large German-built vessel departed from Travemünde for the Mediterranean on 27 January and is expected to enter service on the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona-Venice route on 10 February.
AKKA will gradually replace LEFKA ORI and ARIADNE, which are undergoing their annual maintenance, as well as SUPERFAST III, which is scheduled for both annual maintenance and a scrubber conversion. Meanwhile, HELLENIC SPIRIT is already out of service until June at the Elefsis shipyards, where she is undergoing an extensive renovation and refit that will transform her into SUPERFAST IV.
Built in Germany in 2001, AKKA has a carrying capacity of 800 passengers and 2,600 lane metres. She can operate at a speed of 21.5 knots.
