On June 3, 2022, the new acquisition of the new established Horizon Sea Lines, HSC SANTA IRINI (former Acciona’s HSC ALMUDAINA DOS) arrived at Neos Molos Drapetsonas (port of Piraeus) from Almeria (Spain).
The ship is currently at Vassiliades dry dock (Piraeus Port) undergoing her dry docking and repairs until June 18. Then she will be chartered to the Cretan Transportation Services (CTRS) for daily excursions between Heraklion – Santorini. She flies the flag of Cyprus.
The former Acciona’s HSC ALMUDAINA DOS (1997) left Almeria on May 31 and set sail for the Port of Piraeus. The ship was purchased last April by the new established Horizon Sea Lines and renamed SANTA IRINI.
She is expected to arrive in Greece on June 3, where she will undergo a small refit. Then, she will be chartered to the Cretan Transportation Services (CTRS) for daily excursions on the Heraklion – Santorini line.
The newly established Horizon Sea Lines is the buyer of Acciona’s HSC ALMUDAINA DOS (1997). The ship (former SUPERSEACAT ONE) was purchased for EUR 4.8 million and will fly the flag of Cyprus. She is expected to arrive in Greece mid April and will be renamed SANTA IRINI.
The monohull will undergo a small refit and will then be chartered to the Cretan Transportation Services (CTRS) for daily service on the Heraklion – Santorini line.
The charter company is a subsidiary of the KTEL Heraklion-Lassithi S.A (Bus Company).
