history

The New Hamanasu was built under the hull number 636 in the shipyard of the Koyo Dockyard Company in Mihara and was delivered to Shin Nihonkai Ferry on May 7, 1972. In the same month it was put into service on the route from Otaru via Tsuruga to Maizuru .

In 1987 the New Hamanasu was sold to the Greek ANEK Lines and renamed Lissos . After arriving in Piraeus in May 1987, the ship was converted for ferry operations in the Mediterranean. In 1989 it was put into service on the route from Ancona via Corfu and Igoumenitsa to Patras . In 1997 the ship switched to the route from Piraeus to Chania .

On November 14, 2004, the Lissos was damaged in a collision with the quay wall in Souda and had to be repaired in Piraeus. In May 2005 the ship was chartered to the Greek government and ran aground off Argostoli in the same month , but remained undamaged. From October 2007 the ferry was used on the route from Piraeus to Heraklion , before switching to the route from Piraeus via Lesbos and Chios to Thessaloniki in July 2008 . On August 1, 2008, the ship suffered another accident when it was slightly damaged in a collision with the cruise ship Cristal in the port of Piraeus .

In February 2011 the Lissos left normal ferry service and carried Vietnamese citizens from Libya back to Vietnam due to political unrest . Then the ferry was demolished in Alang, India, where it arrived on May 1, 2011. On May 17, 2011, the 39-year-old ship was pulled onto the beach and then scrapped.
