On August 29, HSW’s HELLENIC HIGHSPEED replaced the damaged EXPRESS PEGASUS on the Sitia-Kassos-Karpathos-Rhodes line.
The Italy-built vessel suffered a serious damage off the port of Kassos on August 24.
She had been introduced on the route on August 5. However, this unfortunate incident interrupted her service and her future is considered rather uncertain.
The Hellenic Seaways’ veteran EXPRESS PEGASUS will be introduced –-summer season 2020– on the Sitia (Crete)-Kasos-Karpathos-Rhodes subsidized line.
From August 5 to September 27, the ferry will connect Crete with Dodecanissa for the first time in her Greek career. The ship is expected to leave the port of Piraeus soon.
According to the schedule she will depart every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11.00 from Sitia and every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at the same time from Rhodes.
EXPRESS PEGASUS was built in Italy in 1977. Her carrying capacity is for 1.294 passengers and 185 private cars.
