Superfast Ferries (100%)
Attica Holdings S.A. (ATTICA) is an operator of international ferry services in Europe. The Group’s main operations are with its subsidiary Superfast Ferries which began in 1995 with the launch of its first ships, Superfast I & Superfast II. The company also has a minority share in Blue Star Ferries which operates ferries in the Aegean Sea to the Greek islands.
The company’s origins date back as far as 1918 when it was called General Company of Commerce and Industry of Greece, but later focused on producing and trading flour under the name of Attica Flour Mills SA.. In 1992 the company changed hands and was renamed to Attica Enterprises S.A., subsequently changed to Attica Enterprises Holding S.A. and has since changed to Attica Group.
