On 9 December 2025, RoRo CAPPADOCIA SEAWAYS arrived at the Perama repair zone following her purchase in November 2025 by Cyprus-based Salamis Lines.
The vessel served DFDS for 23 years and was sold as part of the Danish operator’s fleet modernisation programme. She has been renamed PATRIS and will become the largest vessel ever operated by the Cypriot shipping company.
The ship is intended for deployment on the Greece (Lavrion) – Cyprus (Limassol) – Israel (Haifa) route. Built in Germany in 2002, she offers 2,772 lane metres of capacity (approximately 177 trailers) and will operate at 21.5 knots.
