Progress on the RoRo Blue Carrier 2 (ex-Clementine) has been swift, with the vessel undergoing major refit and upgrades at Elefsis shipyards since the beginning of January 2024.

The ship was purchased in March 2023 and will likely serve on the Piraeus-Dodecanese run sporting Blue Star Ferries livery. It is the second pure RoRo vessel in the company’s fleet.

Originally built in Japan in 1997, she has a carrying capacity for 458 cars and 160 unaccompanied trucks (2,309 lane meters/3 decks) and can travel at 18 knots.
