This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Sealink ferry Hengist.

 

Hengist was built in 1972 by the Arsenal de la Marine National Francaise, Brest, for services from Dover/Folkestone to Calais/Boulogne, primarily running Folkestone-Calais/Boulogne. Her sisters wer Horsa and Senlac. Hengist also ran overnight trips from Folkestone to Oostende, mainly for freight. In 1984 Sealink ownership passed to Sea Containers, with Hengist running for Sealink British Ferries on the same routes, mainly Folkestone-Boulogne. Her Oostende sailings ended in March 1985. In 1984 and 1985 she did some work at Fishguard. In 1990 Hengist passed to Sealink Stena Line as Stena Hengist. Her last period at Folkestone ended in December 1991, and she worked between Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire in 1992 and also on Stranraer-Larne.

 

In 1992 Stena Hengist was sold to GA Ferries as Romilda, passing to Ventouris sea Lines the following year as Apollo Express 2. In 1996 she moved again to Agapitos Lines as the Panagia Ekatondapiliani, serving Piraeus to Paros, Naxos, Ios and Santorini. She was sold to Minoan Flying Dolphins in 1999 for their Hellas Ferries fleet, and was renamed Express Artemis, reverting to Panagia Ekatondapiliani two years later. She was sold by Hellas Ferries to Vaggelis Ventouris in 2004, being renamed Agios Georgios. She has served Paros, Naxos and Santorini from both Rafina and Piraeus.
