Nissos Chios (1979- )
Kapella
was replaced by larger tonnage in 1979, and subsequently served as the Greek
Nissos Chios
of Chios Shipping.
Nissos Chios
served initially between Rafina-Chios (still in Viking Line red colours), moving in 1982 to Piraeus-Chios Lesvos. In 1985
Nissos Chios
was sold to Hellinikki Actoploia, Chios, when former owners had economic problems, remaining on the same route.
Nissos Chios
was laid up in 1994, and has not sailed since.
