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.
