The “Eleftherios Venizelos” is a 175-meter ferry of the Anek Lines that was chartered by a consortium of Sardinian entrepeneurs to offer a low-cost alternative to the vessels of the Moby and Corsica Sardinia on the route between Livorno and Olbia.
The “El. Venizelos” is the third ship used on this route, after two other ferries (“Lato” and “Sophocles V.”) had technical troubles during the season. Her last run was on Thursday 28, leaving thousand of passengers stranded in Olbia. Unpaid bills are probably the reason behind this sudden stop: however, the next day, the ship was already on her way back to Piraeus.
Here you can see the other ferry, the “Sophocles V.”, leaving Livorno for Olbia last June.

I don't think I have ever seen ferries that are so huge!
ReplyDeleteBoth of them look massive!
ReplyDeleteDitto, William!
ReplyDeleteThey are huge, indeed! They remind me of The Color Line ferries in Scandinavia.
ReplyDeleteSo enormous!
ReplyDeleteI agree with William, they look so huge.
ReplyDeleteThe light on your photo of EV makes it look good, maybe in contrast with the sleek white of SV.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful light on your first photo.
ReplyDeleteYou even caught the ferry with its stern doors open.
ReplyDeleteLa riprova che non sempre basso costo equivale a qualità! Ciao, Arianna

ReplyDeleteSometimes the low cost option is not the best one!
