The HSC Champion Jet 2 is an 86 m (282 ft) fast catamaran ferry owned by Greek ferry firm Seajets. Between 1997 and early 2015, she was operated by Condor Ferries and ran between the UK and the Channel Islands as Condor Express .
On the way from the shipyard of Austal in Australia to Rønne in Denmark the ferry had a top speed of 47.7 knots (88.3 km/h; 54.9 mph) and an average of 43.4 knots (80.4 km/h; 49.9 mph), and on February 16 and 17, 2000 it had reached 1063 sea miles within 24 hours, thereby setting the world record which was then recorded in the Guinness World Records.

In 2004, Panagiotis ("Takis") Iliopoulos (1932–2022) and his son Marios founded Seajets, originally named Dolphin Sea Lines. [3]Today, it operates a fleet of 14 high speed vessels, [4] and 3 conventional Ro-Ro ferries which services routes from the ports of Piraeus and Rafina to several Cycladic islands.

The vessel was launched on 20 March 2005 as Highspeed 5 by Austal at Henderson, Australia and completed later that year for the Greek ferry operator Hellenic Seaways. [1] [2] She entered service with Hellenic Seaways in July, initially sailing between Piraeus and the Cyclades, and subsequently between Heraklion and central Cyclades.
Until early summer 2018, Hellenic Seaways sailed from Heraklion in Crete to Mykonos with calls at the ports of Santorini, Ios and Paros with Highspeed 7. Then, Hellenic Seaways withdrew from the route, due to Highspeed 7 being transferred to Minoan Lines as part of the deal for the sale of Minoan's stake in Hellenic Seaways to Attica Group.
