GA Ferries was a Greece- based shipping company that operated multiple ferries from 1988 until its bankruptcy in 2011 .
history
GA Ferries was founded in Piraeus in 1988 . The shipping company's first ship was the Daliana , built in 1970 as the Ferry Pearl in Japan . Over the next twenty years, the shipping company expanded its fleet and owned nine ships at the time of its bankruptcy. GA Ferries' ferries were used from their home port of Piraeus to Ikaria , Samos , Syros , Paros , Naxos , Santorini , Karlovasi and the Sporades .
In 2003, the shipping company bought the 1,980 in service Anthi Marina her until then the largest ship that but along with several other ships in the fleet in 2008 due to financial difficulties and high operating costs placed are needed. After GA Ferries was no longer insolvent, the remaining ships of the shipping company in service were arrested along with the units that had already been decommissioned and laid up in Piraeus. GA Ferries then filed for bankruptcy and was dissolved in 2011.
A large part of the ships that belonged to GA Ferries at the time of the dissolution were sold to Aliağa for scrapping in 2011 . The Anthi Marina followed a year later. The Jetferry 1 was sold for scrapping in January 2016 as the shipping company's last laid-up ship . Of the former GA Ferries ships, only the Wawel is still in service today , which was in service with the shipping company as Alkmini A from 2003 to 2004 .
