Ferry salvaged and towed to breakers
The 'Aeolos Kenteris' was successfully refloated at Augusta, following salvage operations. The high-speed ferry, once one of the fastest vessels in the Greek fleet, served for years in the Aegean, connecting. After being laid up in Sicily, the vessel remained partially submerged in the port of Augusta for a prolonged period, before a complex refloating operation and was being berthed in Augusta as of June 2, 2026, before being towed to Aliağa to be broken up, where it was ready to be pulled out of the water on June 24.

Abandoned ferry becoming a wreck in Augusta
The “Aeolos Kenteris” is resting half-submerged in Augusta, and a video, taken by a group of explorers in Sep 2024, reveals the ship’s current state: a decaying shell, its interior ravaged by time and neglect. The ship, which gained fame for its speed of up to 40 knots),operating on routes like Piraeus-Chios-Lesvos and Piraeus-Paros-Naxos-Santorini, caused problems, as its wake caused significant coastal damage, forcing it to reduce speed and stay further from shore. In 2007, “Aeolos Kenteris” was sold and began operating in the Red Sea. It eventually returned to Greece and was chartered to connect Augusta and Valletta. Renovations in Augusta led to the ship’s seizure due to unpaid debts of 5 million Euros. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzfwEBcDhOA
