The Greek-flagged high-speed passenger and vehicle ferry "Hyperspeed Jet 4" has been placed under a temporary departure ban at the port of Rafina following a collision that occurred during its docking procedure. Authorities imposed the restriction pending an inspection of the vessel. Rafina is one of the main departure points for ferries connecting the Greek mainland to Crete and the islands. Travelers planning to use this vessel for their journey to or from Crete should check with their ferry operator for updated schedules, alternative sailings, or rebooking options, as the ban may cause delays or cancellations until the ship is cleared for service.
