Anchors got entangled
On the evening of July 19, 2024, the master of the 'Apollon Hellas', while executing the scheduled route from Aegina to Piraeus, suffered a technical problem which caused the vessel's anchors to get entangled during the berthing manover in the port of Piraeus. The ferry safely disembarked the passengers, and the next scheduled route to Aegina was served out by another ferry provided by the shipping company. The Port Authority of Piraeus initially banned the 'Apollon Hellas' from sailing. After presenting a certificate of seaworthiness by the monitoring classification society, the ship could resume its service.
