Vessel Description

Blue Star 1 is a high-speed Ro-Pax (Roll-on/Roll-off Passenger) ferry operated by Blue Star Ferries, a subsidiary of the Attica Group, one of Greece's leading passenger shipping companies. Built in 2000 by the German shipyard Flender Werft AG in Lübeck, the vessel represents a modern generation of Aegean ferries designed for both passenger comfort and efficient vehicle transport.

The vessel serves the highly trafficked Cyclades island routes out of the port of Piraeus, providing critical transport links between Athens and major island destinations including Paros, Naxos, Mykonos, and Santorini. Its considerable speed of approximately 27.5 knots makes it well-suited to the demanding schedules of Aegean ferry routes, where punctuality and frequency are essential.

With a capacity of approximately 2,400 passengers and significant Ro-Ro cargo and vehicle decks, Blue Star 1 is configured to handle the high seasonal traffic characteristic of the Greek island ferry network, particularly during summer peak periods. The vessel maintains high standards of passenger amenities consistent with the Blue Star Ferries fleet brand, including cabin accommodations, restaurants, and deck areas.

Note: Operational data such as current route assignments may vary seasonally. Users are advised to verify current schedules and technical specifications with official Blue Star Ferries or Lloyd's Register sources.
