Strintzis<.> Lines has taken delivery of the newly-built Blue Star 1 from the Dutch shipyard Van der Giessen de Noord NV. The ultra-modern vessel, which travels at a speed of 28 knots, can carry 1,600 passengers and 700 passenger vehicles or 100 trucks and 100 passenger vehicles.

Blue Star 1 has an a la carte restaurant, a self-service bistro, four bars, a nightclub, two cinema screens, a casino, several shops, a pool and all modern conveniences.

It will service the Patras-Brindisi-Ancona line, a first for Gerasimos Strintzis` company, and will link the two Adriatic ports. Travel time between Patras and Brindisi will be a record nine hours while that from Patras to Ancona will last 21 hours.

Blue Star 2, which will service the same route from next month, is close to completion.

The operation of the two shops will reinforce Blue Star Ferries` position in the Adriatic as it means seven Strintzis vessels will link all Greek and Italian ports in the Adriatic on a daily basis.
