The extensive refit and conversion of Golden Star Ferries’ latest acquisition, ANDROS KING, is progressing rapidly at the Perama Repair Zone. In November 2024, she underwent dry docking and is now being prepared, hopefully, for the summer season of 2025.

The vessel was purchased in July 2024 and delivered in September 2024. She will likely be deployed on the Rafina-Andros-Tinos-Mykonos route. Notably, she is one of the youngest ferries in the Hellenic ferry fleet.

Built in Spain in 2006, ANDROS KING has a carrying capacity of 1,500 passengers and 310 cars (1,200 lane metres). She can operate at a speed of 22.5 knots.
