  • The ferry 'Super Star' will refund tickets and offer free return trips to 317 passengers after failing to dock at Tinos and Andros due to severe weather.
  • The ship is heading to Lavrio port, where passengers will disembark and be transported by bus.
  • The company cited maintaining good relations with the public as the reason for the compensation.

The ferry company Seajets will refund tickets and provide free return journeys to 317 passengers aboard the 'Super Star' after the vessel was unable to dock at its intended ports due to adverse weather conditions. The ship is currently en route to Lavrio port.

Passengers will disembark at Lavrio and be provided with organized bus transportation to Rafina and central Athens. The ferry had been on a scheduled route from Rafina to Andros, Tinos, and Mykonos. However, strong northern winds, reaching force 8 to 9 Beaufort, prevented the 'Super Star' from docking at Andros and subsequently Tinos.

Seajets stated that this initiative is part of its policy to maintain good relations with the traveling public. The 'Super Star' is carrying 317 passengers and a crew of 59. Additionally, it is transporting 56 passenger cars, 11 motorcycles, and two trucks.

The vessel is expected to dock at Lavrio shortly. The company's decision aims to mitigate the inconvenience caused to passengers by the weather-related disruptions.

This initiative is part of the policy of maintaining good relations with the traveling public.
