ANEK Lines (Ανώνυμη Ναυτιλιακή Εταιρεία Κρήτης, Anonymi Naftiliaki Eteria Kritis, Anonymous Shipping Company of Crete) was one of the largest passenger shipping companies in Greece.[ citation needed] It was founded in 1967 by numerous shareholders who were inhabitants of Crete.[ citation needed] It operated passenger ferries, mainly on Piraeus-Crete and Adriatic Sea lines.
In December 2023 Attica Group absorbed 100% of ANEK Lines. [2] The ANEK Lines brand continues to be used by Attica Group.
In Crete protests broke out after the Typaldos Lines car ferry SS Heraklion capsized due to a series of safety regulations violations. The ship sank on her way from Chania to Piraeus on 8 December 1966, resulting in the death of more than 200 people.[ citation needed]
In the aftermath a few hundreds of Cretans (traders, free-lancers, pensioners, farmers) following a proposal by the Association of Economists of the Chania Prefecture and the support of the Metropolitan of Kissamos and Selinos, Irineos Galanakis, implement their idea to found a multi-shareholder shipping company.
