[[NEL Lines]] is a publicly-owned passenger shipping company based in [[Mytilene]], [[Lesbos]]. NEL Lines was founded on [[August 5|August 5th]] [[1972]] under the name of '''Maritime Company of Lesvos S.A.''' (Ναυτιλιακή Εταιρία Λέσβου Α.Ε. ) with the objective of linking Lesvos, [[Chios]] and [[Limnos]] with the Greek mainland. Services started in [[1973]] with F/B [[Sappho]]. The ship originally operated the route [[Piraeus|Pireas]]-[[Chios]]-[[Mytilene]] thrice weekly.

The following year, the route [[Mytilene]]-[[Lemnos]]-[[Thessaloniki]] was inaugurated. A few years later a second ship was added, "Homerus". Homerus inaugurated the Mitilini-Limnos-[[Kavala]] route in [[1978]].

During the [[1980s]], Nel purchased more ships.These were:"Alkeos", which has operated the Piraeus-Mytilene direct route, the [[Lavrio]]-[[Agios Efstratios]]-Lemnos-Kavala route, the Mytilene-Lemnos-[[Alexandroupolis]] route, among others. The "Arion", which served the Pireas-[[Cyprus]]-Israel route and was torpedoed in Haifa. The "Odysseas Elitis" became the first and last ship owned by NEL to link [[Greece]] with Italy. The "Agios Rafael" was a primarily vehicle-carrying ship. Due to its low ceilings and steep staircases through the years it gained a dreadful reputation, along with the Alkeos.

In May of 2005 a controlling stake of 20% in [[NEL Lines]] was acquired by a new management team from ANEK LINES.
