Aegean Speed Lines is a Greek ferry company operating fast ferries between Piraeus and the Cyclades.
History
Aegean Speed Lines were formed in 2005 as a joint venture between Sea Containers and the Eugenides Group. Aegean Speed Lines were the first ferry company in Greece to use a European Union flag vessel on a domestic route following deregulation of ferry services in Greece.[1] Sea Containers sold is share in 2006 leaving the Eugenides Group as the major shareholder.
