NotesSister ship to Tera Jet 3

Tera Jet 2 is a catamaran belonging to the Greek shipping company Seajets. Built in 2007 by Incat, it was ordered by Japanese shipping company Higashi Nihon Ferry as Natchan Rera. It was sold to Seajets in 2024 as Eurochampion Jet, before being renamed as Tera Jet 2 a year later.

Service

The catamaran, the first of a series of four sister units, and the largest ever built in an Incat shipyard until the construction of Express 3, was launched on 2 July 2007 at the Incat shipyard in Hobart with the name Natchan Rera and delivered on 7 August to Higashi Nihon Ferry,[1] setting sail five days later from Brisbane, where it had been transferred after delivery, to Japan. Once arrived in Japan, the new catamaran finally entered service on 1 September on the routes between Aomori and Hakodate[2] , in the Tsugaru Strait, under the flag of East Japan Ferry, where it was joined the following year by its sister ship Natchan World. However, just over a year later, with the decline in traffic and profitability of the route, the catamarans were decommissioned on 1 November. Following this, the catamaran, which unlike the Natchan World never returned to service in the Sea of Japan, was instead towed to Muroran in July 2010 and put up for sale. In October 2012, after more than two years of decommissioning, the catamaran, despite interest in purchasing it from the Japanese Ministry of Defense, was purchased by Taiwanese Uni-Wagon Marine for approximately ¥5.4 billion, for which it entered service on 7 August 2013 on the services between Su-ao and Hualien  in the South China Sea, where it operated for a relatively short time, until 8 September 2013.

On May 27, 2014, after another year of decommissioning, the catamaran inaugurated the connection for which it had been purchased, between the Taiwanese port of Taipei and the Chinese port of Pingtan, in the Formosa Strait. Two years later, in April 2016, the return of the Natchan Rera to Hualien was announced, which on May 14 began connecting with Ishigaki, Japan.  However, in November 2017, due to the low profitability of the line, the route was cancelled and the fast ferry was decommissioned in the Taiwanese port  and put up for sale. After seven years of decommissioning, in January 2024 the catamaran was purchased by Seajets[3][4], by which it was renamed Eurochampion Jet  and transferred to Piraeus on 3 March[5] , to undergo renovation works[6], necessary after the long period out of service. At the end of the technical stop, held at the Ampelakia shipyards, on the island of Salamina, on 10 June 2025 she was renamed Tera Jet 2 and about a month later, on 17 July she started service[7] in the connections between Piraeus, Paros, Naxos, Koufonissia, Schoinoussa and Heraklia,[8] where she operated for the summer season at the end of which she then returned to the Attic shipyard.[9]

In 2026 it was instead employed in the connections between Rafina, Andros, Tinos, Mykonos and Paros.[10]
