On August 27, 2024, the Greek owned ferry operator Zante Ferries invited its shareholders to attend an extraordinary General Assembly that will take place at Zakynthos on September 22, 2024. There, it will be decided the fate of its ferries DIONISSIOS SOLOMOS (1990) and ADAMANDIOS KORAIS (1987) that will probably be sold.  

 Zante Ferries was founded in 1991 at Zakynthos and operated exclusively in the Ionian Sea. In 2008, they came to the Aegean Sea and routed ADAMANDIOS KORAIS -initially on the Central Aegean- and then Western Cyclades. In 2017, they brought the larger DIONISSIOS SOLOMOS on the line and left the Ionian service permanently.  

 After the selling off its ships, Zante Ferries will suspend its services within the Hellenic Coastal Shipping after 33 years.

It was finally decided by the Hellenic Ministry of Mercantile Marine that Zante Ferries’ ADAMANDIOS KORAIS (6.307gt/1987) will serve the Alexandroupolis-Samothraki line until October 31, 2019.

After that period, the route will be re-proclaimed along with all the country’s remote islands routes for the new season (November 2019-October 2020).

Zante Ferries expressed its interest for the specific line answering to the Ministry’s relevant call and it seems to be ready to compete with Saos Ferries for the line.
