Greece’s ferry sector is seeing its first vessel withdrawals linked directly to surging fuel costs, raising concerns about a difficult winter for operators and prompting renewed calls for changes to the rules governing conventional passenger-car ferries.

For the first time in recent years and unusually early in the year, three conventional passenger-car ferries have been withdrawn from service on routes connecting Rafina with the Cyclades and the Dodecanese islands.

The vessels are the Aikaterini P. operated by Fast Ferries and Superferry operated by Golden Star Ferries, both of which ended their seasonal service on the Rafina-Cyclades route earlier than usual, and Lefka Ori of Attica Group, which was withdrawn early from the Dodecanese route.
