Ferry suffered mechanical failure

On the morning of March 4, 2025, the 1st Port Department of Tzelepi of the Central Port Authority of Piraeus was informed by the Captain of the 'Ekaterini P.' about a mechanical failure, ahead of the ship’s departure from the port on the route to Serifos-Sifnos-Kimolos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios-Thira with 195 passengers, 46 private vehicles and 15 trucks on board. The Port Authority banned the ferry from sailing until the damage was repaired and a certificate of class maintenance was presented by the monitoring classification society.

EKATERINI P 9000443

The anchors of the 'Fast Ferries Andros' (IMO: 8907280), the 'Ekaterini P.' and the 'Super Ferry' (IMO: 9110016) got entangled during the departure of the ferries from Rafina on Sep 9, 2023. A collision was avoided between all involved vessels at the last minute. The incident occurred due to bad weather conditions prevailing in the area. The 'Super Ferry' lost its port anchor, and the Master of the vessel informed the Port Authority of Tinos, which initially prohibited the sailing of the ferry until a class maintenance certificate permitting its continued sailing was issued by the ship's surveyor. Following the presentation of the certificate, the vessel was allowed to depart Tinos on its scheduled service.
