Ferry suffered engine failure
On Nov 16, 2025, at noon, the Port Authority of Mytilene was informed by the Captain of the C'Thalassitis', that during its departure for the ports of Chios and Piraeus, a failure occurred in the starboard side main engine. The Central Port Authority of Mytilene initially prohibited the departure of the ship. Upon the presentation of a certificate of class maintenance from the monitoring classification society, the ship was permitted to resume its approved itinerary with 32 passengers, four cars and 26 crew members on board.
Ferry became target of bomb threat
On the afternoon of Sep 21, the Chios Port Authority was informed of a threat of an explosive device inside the C'ThalassitisÄ. The report was made by telephone, before the ship set sail for Piraeus. The plan to locate and neutralize an explosive device was immediately implemented, and all passengers were disembarked and all vehicles were unloaded. Following a check carried out by an explosive detection dog, with negative results, the ship set sail with 10 passengers, 10 vehicles, 48 trucks and onemotorcycle, to carry out its scheduled route. A preliminary investigation was being conducted by the Central Port Authority of Chios.
Maiden voyage after fire
A massive fire, along with several other errors, had set plans back somewhat, but on Aug 1, 2025, the 'Thalassitis' finally sets sail on is maiden voyage from Piraeus to Crete. The ferry will, however, sail only on a roll-on/roll-off basis, without carrying passengers.
