Blue Star Patmos
ship built in 2012
Blue Star Patmos is a fast ferry operated by the Greek company Blue Star Ferries. Built between 2010 and 2012 by Daewoo Shipbuilding in South Korea, it has been sailing since July 2012 on Blue Star Ferries routes in the Aegean Sea.
History
Origins and construction
At the dawn of the 2010s, Blue Star Ferries considered strengthening its fleet dedicated to serving the Aegean Sea archipelagos. Throughout the previous decade, the company had expanded its network with the opening of new routes to the Dodecanese and the North Aegean, in addition to its long-standing connections with the Cyclades. With this promising outlook, the shipping company placed an order for two new ferries with the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).
Based on the design of the three previous Blue Star ferries—Ithaki, Paros, and Naxos —also built by the same shipyards, the new vessels represent a significant evolution compared to their predecessors. In addition to being larger and faster, they are also much more comfortable, despite a deliberately compact size to allow easy access to all ports.
The second of them, named Blue Star Patmos, was laid down at Okpo on June 23, 2010, and launched on June 27, 2011. After finishing work, it was delivered to Blue Star Ferries on June 12, 2012.
Service
After leaving South Korea to reach Greece, Blue Star Patmos arrived for the first time at Piraeus on July 9, 2012.
