Elyros (ship)

Elyros is a Greek ferry, which is the second newest ship, being part of ANEK Lines fleet, following Asterion II.

She is a motor Ro-Ro/Passenger ferryboat, built in 1998 at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipyard at Shimonoseki, Japan, and put into service by ANEK at 2008 (previously operated under different names and owners).

It was delivered on 19 January 1998 to KK Blue Highway Line and deployed on the route between Ōarai and Tomakomai.

On 27 August 2007, she arrived at Perama for retrofitting in order to comply with the requirements of the Mediterranean routes.

The ship has been chartered three times to Algerie Ferries in the summers of 2016, 2017 and 2018, linking Algiers to Alicante and Marseilles.
