It was originally named Nils Holgersson (3) and was built for use on a national route between Travemunde and Trelleborg. Ten years later, the vessel was bought by the Australian National Line (ANL) and it was renamed Abel Tasman. Some additions and modifications had to be made to meet the international standards not long after that. In 1994, Abel Tasman was sold to Ventouris Ferries and renamed Pollux.\r\n\r\nIn 1995 it was sold to the Maritime Company of Lesvos, operated by NEL lines, and renamed Theofilos. This ship would operate the Piraeus-Chios-Mytilene (Lesvos) route, with occasional stops in Thessaloniki and Limnos.\r\n\r\nThroughout its time in Greece, Theofilos actually had a few collisions. Once at the Chios port in 1985, and then in 2008, it ran aground on the rocks of Oinousses. The ship had some serious damages but was repaired and back in operation by the following summer.\r\n\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n\r\nSince 2018 Theofilos has been laid up at the port, following the bankruptcy of NEL. Now, it seems that the ship is officially heading to the scrapyard to be demolished. In the coming days, it will depart from Mytilene for the last time, heading to the landfills of Ali Aga in Turkey where it will be completely dismantled.\r\n\r\nThis ship is very memorable for thousands of people in Greece because the route was mostly used by locals who were heading off for multiple months at a time, carrying tons of belongings. Theofilos connected mainland Greece and the Northeast Aegean, although Chios and Mytilene weren't ever welcoming tons of tourists. This ship and this route were a crucial part of many people's summer holidays for many years. Generations of Greeks took this ship annually and it will remain as a positive memory.","post_title":"END OF AN ERA: MS THEOFILOS HEADS TO THE SCRAP YARD","post_excerpt":"This iconic ship has transported generations of Greeks to Chios and Mytilene and it will be remembered very fondly.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"end-of-an-era-ms-theofilos","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-10-05 11:57:02","post_modified_gmt":"2021-10-05 09:57:02","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https://cms.ferryscanner.com/?p=286971","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","permanlink":"https://cms.ferryscanner.com/blog/end-of-an-era-ms-theofilos","image":"https://cms.ferryscanner.com/media/2021/03/ferryscanner-end-of-an-era-ms-theofilos.jpg"},{"ID":177977,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-12 11:05:09","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 09:05:09","post_content":"For all ferry routes between Italy and Greece, the ferry company Ventouris Ferries is offering early booking discounts.
