Attica Group Completes €21m Investment for Argosaronic Routes

Attica Group has received its brand new Aero 3 Highspeed catamaran, the last of three Aero catamarans that will be deployed in the Saronic islands from early August.

Built at Brødrene Aa shipyard in Norway, the new high-speed catamaran will offer up to 17 daily routes from Piraeus to the islands of Aegina, Agistri, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, as well as to Ermioni and Porto Heli in the Peloponnese, in replacement of existing group capacity in the market.

Attica Group’s investment reached 21 million euros and was covered by own funds and bank financing.

The new, state-of-the-art Aeros boast an ultra-modern design and innovative features that will upgrade significantly the travel experience for the over 3 million passengers travelling annually on the Saronic routes.
