history

Use in Japan and South Korea

The Hakata was built under the hull number 181 in the Kanda Zosensho shipyard in Kure and was delivered to the Kobe- based Nishi Nihon Ferry on February 12, 1973 . Her sister ship was the Tsukushi, also commissioned in 1973 . The ferry was in service on the coast of Japan for the next 29 years . In 1984 it was renamed Ferry Kampu and in 1998 Ferry Pukwan . The operator from 1998 was the Rainbow Line.

Since 2002 the ship has been in service as Eun Ha for the shipping company Pukwan Ferry between Shimonoseki and the South Korean Busan . After three years in service, it was sold to the Greek shipping company Saos Ferries in August 2005 and completed its last crossing as Eun Ha in November 2005 .

Use in Greece

On December 9, 2005, the ship arrived under the abbreviated name Eun in Perama and was converted there from February 2006 for service in Greek waters. Since August 2006 the ferry has been called Panagia Agiasou . Despite the renovation, however, she did not get going, but instead lay in Piraeus from August 2006 , from November 2006 in Kynosoura and from January 2007 in Eleusis .

On May 21, 2008, Panagia Agiasou finally started ferry operations between Piraeus, Chios and Mytilene . However, this service only lasted for a short time, as the ship was arrested in Piraeus on December 2, 2008 due to financial problems and outstanding invoices from the shipping company. Saos Ferries filed for bankruptcy and was dissolved, the ferry laid up again in Eleusis after a long layover in Piraeus.

The Panagia Agiasou did not find a new operator, but instead lay at anchor for several years in front of Eleusis. A sale planned for demolition in 2013 did not materialize. On January 18, 2018, the ship was towed into the Spanopoulos Yard in Ampelakia after the anchor chain of the ferry broke in a storm and was drifting towards the mainland. There is the Panagia Agiasou since.
