A total of 17 daily routes are now covered by 3 new high-speed ferries that travel from Piraeus to Aegina, Agistri, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Ermioni and Porto Heli.

The three new Aero Highspeed Catamarans were built at the Brødrene Aa shipyards in Norway, and started sailing in Greek waters on Monday the 8th of August.
The routes will be operated by Hellenic Seaways and will serve the more than 3 million passengers who travel to the Argosaronic Islands annually, further developing the local communities of the beautiful island complex.

Ecological design
Attica Group has invested in Aero Catamarans aiming to significantly reduce our environmental footprint and gradually achieve a greener economy. This will be done with the reduction of fuel consumption and gas emissions, and the photovoltaic units installed, covering the lighting and electricity needs of the ship's hotelier services. The total investment cost 21 million euros derived from equity and bank loans.
