Hehe, no worries mate, it was my pleasure to explain a few things here ;-)

Touched a nerve there, eh! OK, point taken,let's put it down to poor foresight of the designers. Guess the biggest downer is their poor mechanical reliability: Certainly not a minor point when carrying passengers.

Thank you Ralph for your diligent explanation and information regarding the JetFerry1.
Everything you notified under your comments is absolutely correct and in good order. Regards/Jadran

..and a final comment: together with the ro-ro NICOLAS A., the JETFERRY 1 is now the only remaining vessel of the once-great GA Ferries fleet. All the others have been scrapped! Same goes for the fleet of equally bankrupt SAOS Ferries, almost all scrapped as well.

@Patagualino: the bankers are not sad in this case, they are right. This vessel is utterly useless.

There is no second-hand market of any significance for these older fast craft, apart from the scrap market. They tend to be fuel hungry and sometimes mechanically unreliable as well (the JETFERRY 1 being a prime example of the latter variety). Older fast craft are laid up all over the world: for example the thee Corsica Ferries vessels in Vado Ligure and several Incats all over all the world. Tirrenia even sold four of their fast craft (only 12-15 years old!) for scrap last year!

Equasis still lists her as laid-up so she's still alive but as George said, after such a long lay-up, the chances of her seeing more service are very slim…

Too nice a ship to be rotting away like this; Very sad Bankers!?

My friend, the ship not works at the last four years, and she is in laid up all this time in port of Piraeus (attachment of bank). The next trip for this ship will be only for going to a scrapyard.

Status dead? Seemed in good shape to me - I saw the crew working on her throughout the day.
