Hyperspeed Jet 4 Resumes Rafina Routes After Sailing Ban Lifted

The high-speed passenger and vehicle ferry "Hyperspeed Jet 4" departed Rafina port at 13:15 after authorities lifted a temporary sailing ban that had been imposed following a collision incident. Rafina, located east of Athens, serves as a key departure point for ferry routes to the Greek islands, including connections toward Crete. The ban had grounded the vessel while the incident was assessed. Travelers planning to reach Crete or other Aegean islands via Rafina should be aware that ferry schedules can be disrupted when safety inspections or sailing bans are applied. If you are booking island-hopping routes, always check with your ferry operator on the day of travel for the latest departure status, as incidents like this can cause delays of several hours before clearance is granted.
