Mechanical failure off Alexandroupolis
The Port Authority of Alexandroupolis was informed in the morning of June 3, 2022, by the Captain of the 'Agios Georgios' about a mechanical failure 6,5 nautical miles south of Alexandroupolis. The 'Laki Star' towed the ship safely to the port of Alexandroupolis. The Central Port Authority of Alexandroupolis, which is conducting the preliminary investigation, banned the ship from sailing until the repair of the damage and the presentation of a class maintenance certificate by the classification society that monitors it.
Grounding at Vrak Karavi
