History

Highspeed 4 was built by Austal at Henderson, Australia in 2000, on order by Greek ferry operator Minoan Flying Dolphins (MFD).[2] She entered service with MFD in July 2000, sailing between Piraeus and Cyclades.[3] Since 2005 and following the consolidation of MFD into Hellenic Seaways (HSW), Highspeed 4 operates in the colors of HSW.
