Grounding in Mykonos

The "Irini" with seven crew members, among them six Greeks, on board was blown away from its moorings in Mykonos and ran aground on a sandy shallow in the Paleo Port in a storm weather in the night of Feb 23, 2019. The ship had been working in the old port and was loaded with 915 tons gravel which were to be unloaded. No injuries or water ingress reported. The tug "Karapiperis" managed to refloat the vessel in the afternoon of Feb 24, and it was safely re-berthed in the old port. The port authority detained the ship until it has passed an inspection by the relevant classification society. A diver was called to inspect the hull, but found no damage.
