The receipt of the newly built catamaran “Aero 2 Highspeed” that was built at the Brødrene Aa shipyards in Norway, was announced by “Attica Group“, a member of the Marfin Investment Group.
The “Aero 2 Highspeed” is the second of an order for three state-of-the-art Aero Catamarans, which will be launched on Saronic Gulf routes, replacing the Group’s older technology ships in the specific destinations.
