On 15 April 2025, ANEK Lines’ night ferry PREVELIS was transferred to Elefsis Bay to be laid up until further notice.
The ship was purchased in 1994 and initially served on the Piraeus–Rethymnon route until 2007. In 2008, she was transferred to the Piraeus–Cyclades line, and from 2009 to 2023 she operated on the so-called “barren line” Piraeus–Milos–Santorini–Anafi–Heraklion–Sitia–Kassos–Karpathos–Chalki–Rhodes. This route established her as one of the most important ferries in the Greek ferry scene.
From December 2023 to May 2024, she was reassigned to the Piraeus–Chios–Mytilene route. Since then, she has remained laid up at the ONEX Elefsis yards.
PREVELIS was built in Japan in 1980. She has a capacity of 1,300 passengers and 652 lane metres, and can sail at a speed of 19 knots.
