On the morning of Jan 13, 2026, the Tzelepi Port Authority was informed that a 54-year-old passenger of the 'Fast Ferries Andros' required immediate hospital treatment. The ferry, which had sailed from the port of Piraeus on the route to the ports of Syros,Tinos and Mykonos, returned to the port, where it disembarked the patient. He was then transported by an ambulance to the Piraeus General Hospital for further medical treatment.

On the afternoon of Aug 27, 2025, the Rafina Port Authority was informed by the 'Fast Ferry Andros', that a 50-year-old passenger felt unwell after boarding the ship. He was immediately provided with first aid by doctors among the other passengers. The man was then picked up by an EKAB and taken to the Agia Olga General Hospital.

On March 15, 2025, at noon , the Port Authority of Mykonos was informed of a failure of the port side main engine of the 'Fast Ferries Andros' which was moored in the new port of Mykonos. The ship had a scheduled itinerary for the ports of Tinos - Syros - Piraeus with 71 passengers on board, who were transported further under the company's care- The Mykonos Port Authority initially prohibited the departure of the ferry. After the presentation of a seaworthiness certificate from the classification society monitoring it, it was permitted to depart for the port of Piraeus without passengers and cargo.

On the morning of Jan 22, 2025, the Central Port Authority of Piraeus was informed by the Captain of the 'Fast Ferries Andrs' about a malfunction of the port side main engine, while the ship was moored in the port of Piraeus on a scheduled route from the port of Piraeus to the ports of Syros, Tinos and Mykonos, with 121 passengers on board. The passengers were transported to their destination by the care of the company. The Port Authority banned the ferry from sailing until the presentation of a certificate of class maintenance from the classification society that monitors it.

The anchors of the 'Fast Ferries Andros', with 743 passengers on board, the 'Ekaterini P.' (IMO: 9000443) and the 'Super Ferry' (IMO: 9110016) got entangled during the departure of the ferries from Rafina on Sep 9, 2023. A collision was avoided between all involved vessels at the last minute. The incident occurred due to bad weather conditions prevailing in the area. The 'Super Ferry' and "Ekaterini" cut their anchors and managed to disengage from the scene. The "Fast Ferry Andros", however, found itself stranded, being unable to start the engine in order to moor at the wharf as there was a risk that the chain would become entangled in the propeller and breaking the engine shaft. Three tugs arrived in Rafina between 2.20 p.m. and 4 p.m., while divers also had to attempt it before the "Fast Ferry Andros" finally managed to dock at the port of Rafina late on Sep 9. The 'Super Ferry' lost its port anchor, and the Master of the vessel informed the Port Authority of Tinos, which initially prohibited the sailing of the ferry until a class maintenance certificate permitting its continued sailing was issued by the ship's surveyor. Following the presentation of the certificate, the vessel was allowed to depart Tinos on its scheduled service.
