Greek ferry operator orders new tonnage in South Korea

Greek ferry operator Attica Holdings has ordered two large Ro-Pax ferries in South Korea for Greek inter-island services. The two 145.5m vessels will be built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Machinery in a deal believed to be worth €140m, with delivery expected in 2011 and 2012. Each ferry will be able to carry 2,400 passengers and 450 cars, or 50 freight vehicles and 150 cars.  

It was nine years ago that Attica last ordered new ferries from Daewoo, Strintzis Lines ordered three vessels for the Korean shipbuilder. Strintzis was acquired by Attica in 2002. Sphere: Related Content
