A statement from Markos Patatoukos, the
President of the ANES company announces that ' the boat is of the newest type
that modern ship-building can offer, and this is something which specially honours
Symiots, as once again, we are ahead of everyone just as we were in 1989 with
the purchase of the Symi II.'
The choice of ship, he says, was made after special weight had been given to its behaviour
at sea - a behaviour which would mean a combination of both speed and comfort for
the passengers.
Tourist and Trade Increases
The new service could mean a big increase
both in the number of tourists, and of commercial trade and Mr Patatoukos warns that
while some people are not happy with potential increases in passenger
and commercial trade, 'It would be a catastrophe for our company, not to mention the
Island', if the new boat didn't come into service.
Meanwhile, he says 'ANES will do whatever is possible , disregarding the costs, for the
better servicing of the citizens and visitors on our Island' and that people must 'be
patient and be understanding about whatever small problems come up in the resultant
commercial and passenger movement.'
The new 'all-technology' ship is to be built in Australia, and says Mr Patatou |
