ANES don't currently hold a route licence to operate between Symi and Rhodes, and they haven't operated over the route for 5 years. If they have indeed bought a ship, they'd need to get a licence for it -and interested parties, like say Dodekanisos Seaways, have the right to object. I heard this same rumour when I was on Symi in October. Now it is the end of April, I'm back on Symi, and as far as I can see, nothing has happened yet.
Greek shipping enthusiasts have heard that ANES have ordered a brand new high-speed ship from the Koropi shipyard, but nobody has managed to find any details, like when they expect to take delivery, or what route it will operate on.
