Thanks for posting this video. It reminded me of my trips on the Blue Star ferry 20 years ago. AND the organised chaos of the Greek system of unloading/loading at the ports.

No matter weather or how many people and cars are gonna be loaded or unloaded, the Captain and the crew always know what's happening! Everything works like a swiss clock behind the scenes! That's we calling "Ελληνική Ναυτοσύνη" ;)

I traveled in the Cyclades with my family a few years back and took ferries from island to island and enjoyed it a great deal. Getting there was half the fun. The fast ferries were not nearly as enjoyable, because you see very little from the ship, but many people preferred those in order to get to the next island as quickly as possible. The process of embarking and embarking at each island is a fascinating process, including watching people soliciting customers for their accommodations.

There are no tides involved. Makes a huge difference. Where I live sea level can vary 7 metres, and there are places with bigger tides. At least we separate vehicles from pedestrians!

Yeah. The same. I always hear that Seajet is always late. Even hours. Blue Star however, at least in 12-14 journeys I had with them were always on time. Once they even managed to reduce almost all delay caused by rough sea. Debatable how safe it was, but they promised that will do their best to reduce the delay, considering that the ferry was supposed to arrive in Piraeus after midnight ....

Civilian deaths? Ferry accidents are really rare actually, I can't think of a figure but this year the only ferry accident was in February I think and it was a fire on board an Italy to Greece route that killed a few people. I haven't heard of any other accidents since.

It is an organized chaos. People are stupid, I've seen clueless people looking in other direction while going directly to a truck which was reversing to the ferry to take a trailer. But the personnel was aware, yell at them or even pushing them if they continued with their stupidity.
